Founder of TMC People Agency | Host of Dear Work podcast

Matthew Cameron is a hospitality lifer turned leadership and culture specialist. He spent over 15 years on the frontline—washing dishes to senior management—before hitting a breaking point in 2019. A severe burnout sparked his mission: help transform toxic work environments into thriving, people-first spaces.

Today, as Founder of TMC People Agency, Matthew helps hospitality brands tackle retention, engagement, and workplace wellbeing. He’s consulted across luxury hotels, bars, societies and led workshops on attraction, culture, and leadership . His methods focus on creating daily progress, tailored support, and meaningful purpose—not just perks 

On his candid and unapologetic podcast Dear Work (We Need to Talk…), he tackles real workplace issues—from burnout to suicide prevention—engaging thought leaders in raw, solutions-led dialogue.

Passionate, pragmatic and people-centred, Matthew invites hospitality leaders to shift the narrative: change starts before day one, and culture is the ultimate competitive advantage.
