Jonathan Lamm

Jonathan’s early career started with the InterContinental Hotel Sydney managing hotel operations and working as part of a VIP services team at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

Internationally, he worked as events and staff manager with The Admirable Crichton supporting high-end events which included The Queen’s annual staff Christmas parties at Buckingham Palace, Prince William’s 21st birthday party at Windsor Castle, The British Fashion Awards and the Heads of State Dinner at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. As such, he is accustomed to clientele who demand the highest level of service.

From 2005, he transitioned from operations into sales with boutique lifestyle hotel collection Morgans Hotel Group (acquired by SBE Hotels). In 2007, a career opportunity in recruitment presented itself at the UK’s leading hospitality recruitment agency, Berkeley Scott, where he quickly became a top performer.

After moving back to Sydney in 2009, he became a director and shareholder with a young hospitality staffing agency, BENCHMARQUE, where he led the company’s business development and recruitment strategies through sustained growth and success.

During this period, Jonathan successfully led the development of a strategic partnership with The Star Entertainment Group and was the project lead for pre-opening recruitment for The Star’s highly-acclaimed restaurants – Momofuku Seiobo (3 hats), Sokyo (1 hat), Black by Ezard (1 hat), Osteria Balla Manfredi (1 hat) – and MARQUEE nightclub (TAO Group NYC & Las Vegas).

In 2017, he founded THE MONDAY GROUP, with the desire to define a new generation of specialised recruitment, executive search & talent engagement solutions for the events, hotel and hospitality industries in Australia and Asia Pacific.

Jonathan’s commitment to the industry has been recognized by the industry’s leading association, Meetings and Events Australia with whom he holds the accreditation of Associate-Fellow.

Jonathan also holds a Bachelor of Business (Hotel & Event Management).
