Kelly Gardner, Account Executive at Matrix KellyGardner

I've been in the IT services industry for 18+ years. Helping companies solve business problems, build for the future and secure top talent for their organization is something that I feel uniquely qualified to do. Some days this feels like part trusted advisor/friend and others this feels like part therapist but I'm truly grateful to be in a position where I can help and I’m beyond grateful for my clients.

Over the past 15 years at MATRIX, I've focused my time helping our clients build high performance teams. It’s such a privilege to partner with organizations that entrust me with helping them find their greatest assets – their employees! Building relationships & supporting my clients with exceptional customer service is something I take very seriously. And, hey, it’s much better than my side hustle of being an unpaid Uber driver for my kids who are living their best amateur athletic lives!
