Simon Group Holdings Announces Leadership Appointments

According to Simon: "At his core, Chris is an entrepreneur, from founding a 14-partner investment company while he was in college, to launching a 3-D scanning start up. His experience at Atlas Oil, as manager of strategic initiatives, provided an opportunity for him to determine how we could both grow and reinvent our business units. He also worked closely with the team that launched our company Vixta Solutions, and contributed to our digital disruption strategy. Recently, as CFO, he was a key member of the team that led to recent acquisitions. I'm delighted to trust Chris with greater responsibility as we continue to grow Simon Group Holdings."

Replacing Mattina is Maura Hynes who is appointed CFO and chief of staff. Hynes will provide strategic financial counsel to SGH's platform companies and investment partners. Previously she was the director of reporting for both Rock Ventures, LLC, and Rockbridge Growth Equity LLC, both part of the Quicken Loans family of companies.

"I'm delighted Maura is joining our SGH executive team. She has extensive financial review experience from start-ups to mid-sized companies. She's held key roles at various companies throughout her career, including as a founding member of an asset based lender, which has given her insight into the factors that advance a company's vision. I'm confident she will be a contributing factor in our continued growth," Simon said.

Mattina holds a M.S. in accounting from Oakland University, and a B.A., also in accounting, from Michigan State University. Hynes has a Master of Professional Accountancy degree from Walsh University, and a B.S. in actuarial science, from Eastern Michigan University. Both leaders are certified public accountants in the State of Michigan. Complete biographies can be found on the SGH website.
