The Matrix Companies

Today is a bittersweet day at Matrix as our team sends off Jessica Esterkamp on her new adventure. After several years working with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati (BBBSGC) on the executive board, executive and recruitment committees, and with the close relationships Jessica has created with their staff and board members, it’s no surprise that BBBSGC has named Jessica as chief executive officer of their organization.

For the past 18+ years, Jessica has been a leader, mentor, and friend to all of us at Matrix. Her presence can be felt from the décor on the walls to the people she’s served, which is all of us. Jessica has many talents, and one thing that stood her out as a leader is that she’s never been hesitant about sharing any of them with us. From introducing our team to the enneagram, hosting numerous development trainings like writing skills/communication (a staff favorite), taking time to take our headshots and making us feel beautiful and comfortable while doing them, giving us life advice and supporting our families, creating activities and wellness initiatives, recognizing our skills and putting us in the right career spots… the list goes on. All these things contribute to our Best Places work culture and core values. Jessica is never afraid to get her hands dirty, provide us with honest feedback, laugh with us, cry with us, or break a sweat from dancing just to entertain us in epic Halloween skits. Her transparency and support is one of a kind and will be missed dearly. Jessica is a true example of a leader, promoting and encouraging all of us to be the best versions of ourselves and we are forever grateful.

Jessica, thank you for improving our lives with all the little and big things that you’ve done daily for each of us. Although we may not see you physically as often as we wish, we know that you will forever be embedded in our Matrix hearts and the decisions we make. We love you and look forward to our continued relationship with BBBSGC as you lead the way there, congratulations - you will be missed!

p.s. Thank you for letting us celebrate you last week- we had a blast sending you off in true “Matrix” style.

Today we celebrated a very SPECIAL birthday for our beloved Vice President of Claims, Stephanie Armbruster. We were just babies when she joined the team nearly twenty years ago. Happy birthday Steph! 😉

We had an amazing time getting the team together to celebrate at this year’s Christmas party! It never disappoints with plenty of laughter, singing and dancing. Cheers to a healthy and prosperous 2024.

It was a chilly day in Cleveland, but that didn't stop the fun! We had good food, great drinks and played shuffleboard!

Team Dave and Inga and Team Jessica and Dylan won! They will have to battle it out for the official first place spot in the near future!

What a way to close out the summer- thanks for having us, Cleveland Team! It was a blast!

One of Matrix's very own, Kevin Beaver, a Program Manager for our Workforce Services Team, was highlighted in the Opportunities For Ohioans With Disabilities statewide newsletter! Kevin's efforts helped a young man, who was once an active firefighter, receive the training he needed to learn additional skills in order to redirect his career path after suffering from a massive stroke three years ago.

Kevin is a true example of how what we do here at Matrix can truly improve lives and make a difference in our communities! Way to represent Matrix and our core values, Kevin!

What a beautiful day in Dublin!

The team had a blast spending the afternoon together at Pins Mechanical in celebration of our annual summer picnic. We’ll be closing out the summer in Cleveland later this month!

Last week we had the honor of hosting Rob Brown, Group CEO of all Charles Taylor, and Chris Schaffer, CEO of Charles Taylor - Americas Claims Solutions, at both our Cincinnati and Dublin offices.

We enjoyed a mini town hall followed by a happy hour onsite to give them a true “Matrix welcome.” It was such a pleasure to have them join us!
