Matt Davies

I spent 15 years in financial services, including almost a decade as an internal Leadership Consultant and Executive Coach, before setting up my own consultancy. I've developed a reputation for building deep relationships, and working with passion, energy and enthusiasm – being a cheerleader for my clients, while challenging them to reach their potential.  

 

Working in a global organisation, I supported leaders and teams across the UK, Europe and India, in departments as diverse as HR, Technology, Innovation & Solutions, Property, Facilities Management, Payments, Data & Analytics, Partnerships and front line Retail banking. The leadership teams I supported spanned everything from first line managers, some in their first leadership roles, to Executives working at CEO-1 and with decades of experience. 

 

Since setting up Matt Davies Leadership Ltd, I've worked across the UK, Eurpoe, the USA, the Middle East and APAC in both the public and private sector and with individuals and teams alike. Clients include HSBC, Natwest, Citi, Virgin Money, AON, Qatar Foundation, The NHS, Claranet, Labster, Specsavers, Wessex Water, Frank Group and many others.

 

My coaching and team development work extends beyond business to performance sport. I'm the current Assistant Head Coach of the Great Britain Men’s American Football team and have coached the sport for over a decade, winning multiple Coach of the Year Awards. 

 

In addition to one-to-one coaching of over 250 leaders, my experience includes team coaching, consultancy, strategic partnering with leaders, acting as a trusted advisor and all aspects of the design, delivery and evaluation of learning interventions, both in-person and virtual, from small team sessions, to large department-wide initiatives. These have covered all facets of leadership development, presentation skills, career development and more.

 

I have vast experience of speaking and facilitation, using humour, passion and insight to bring topics to life and deliver memorable events with lasting impact. My clients have described my style as engaging, passionate, pragmatic and thought– provoking, with a focus on helping leaders make a tangible difference.
