Jack Matos
In addition to just being an overall great person, Brian is an experienced, professional, and effective Employee Benefits leader. His experience as both an HR Leader, and a Benefits Consultant allow him to provide exceptional thought leadership, strategic direction, and thorough oversight of strategy execution to meet & exceed an organizations goals both from an economic and Human Resources perspective. In our time working together, he led projects, relationships, and teams with the highest level of integrity and attention to detail to ensure successful outcomes always keeping the company and the employees' best interest as the focal point. It is truly a pleasure working with Brian and I look forward to an opportunity to do so again!

Brian is an effective and knowledgeable benefits leader. He will go above and beyond to help make an organization better. While working with him, he managed numerous different projects with the goal of streamlining and improving both the actual benefits and benefits experience for employees. His background in brokerage and HR lends a hand during negotiation of premiums and contracts, as well. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him and highly recommend him for any position involved with benefits/HR.

As soon as I met Brian, I knew that he had an extensive variety of benefits knowledge. He is inviting, I was comfortable coming to him with personal benefit questions. He had detailed answers and was able to guide me through my specific questions, he always had the answers which saved me time attempting to reach the benefit providers. He has leveled up our benefits package and really listened to employees' benefits needs & wants. He is a team player and I hope to work with him again!
