About Matthew Goddard

I’ve helped helped European unicorns such as Zalando, Personio, and Einride, build high-performing teams, at the senior leadership and executive level.I began my career working in recruitment agencies – placing candidates up to Director level for large and medium sized businesses, predominantly within fashion retail, and Buying & Merchandising.In 2018, I moved to Berlin, and joined eCommerce unicorn Zalando, firstly as the Recruiting Lead for their private fashion labels business unit, before becoming one of their first in-house Executive Recruiters, partnering with the management board to hire candidates at the Director, Vice President, and Senior Vice President level, for both Tech & Commercial functions.More recently, I’ve worked as a Talent Advisor & Leader of Talent Acquisition teams for Talentful, a market leader in embedded recruitment, where I’ve had the privilege of embedding with leading tech companies to help them scale their teams, including European HR Tech unicorn Personio, working with them to scale their headcount from 600-1200 people in 2021, Swedish EV scaleup Einride, where I hired Executive Leaders across their Tech organisation, and Simply Business, where I successfully hired two female Executives in to their Tech function.With deep expertise gained from working on the inside of high growth tech companies, and my earlier experience deep in to the fashion and retail sectors, I understand what it takes to build high performing teams that scale businesses.

My team are hiring for Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Customer Operations. We're disrupting the transportation industry with our electric and self driving trucks. In addition to my leadership remit, I'm personally recruiting Executive searches, at VP and SVP level, and advising on executive hiring strategy, as Einride continue scaling. The future of transport is electric, autonomous and digital. Zero-emissions and self-driving vehicles, coordinated by an intelligent network. The clean, safe and efficient way to ship.Climate change is the most important challenge we face today. Humanity has an endless capacity for creativity, but in many areas we remain resistant to change. The road freight industry accounts for 7 percent of global CO2 emissions, consuming over 5 million barrels of oil per year. Einride was started in 2016 as a dream, one based on the conviction that the age of autonomy and electrification gives us the opportunity to create a more desirable version of the future, one that is aligned with human-centric values and the ecological necessities of our planet. With Autonomous Electric Transport (AET) and an intelligent Freight Mobility Platform, we can change road freight for good. Show less
