After 16 years as President & CEO, I'm transitioning to Executive Chairman of @ConcordiaSummit effective Oct 1 — with our Board unanimously appointing Rodney Ferguson (current Vice Chairman) as CEO Designate. I'll also devote more time to Montfort Group, where I serve as CEO and Founding Partner. Grateful beyond words to my co-founder Nick Logothetis for building this with me. The photos here capture some moments from Summits over the last 16 years. See you in NYC this September for #ConcordiaSummit. — Matt

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, a strong voice in the United States Senate. His friends, family, colleagues, and constituents are in my thoughts.
We mourn the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, a towering figure in American foreign policy and a valued voice within the Concordia community. He spoke at our 2016 Annual Summit and 2024 Americas Initiative. His legacy of principled leadership will endure. Our thoughts are with his family and colleagues.

Huge congratulations to one of my closest friends John Jovanovic on being sworn in this past weekend as President & Chairman of the Export–Import Bank of the United States. @EximBankUS His experience, life story, and unique perspective have shaped important conversations for years, including through his past time as a member of Concordia’s Senior Advisory Council. @concordiasummit As I said at the Annual Summit, this appointment gives me immense confidence and faith in what is to come for the Export-Import Bank. Bravo, my friend. I love watching every element of your incredible career. Congratulations, John. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
