Rick Di Cristoforo's exit sparks Matrix speculation



Speculation about the future of dealer group Matrix Financial Solutions increased this week following the exit of its chief executive Rick Di Cristoforo.
Di Cristoforo's departure became public on Tuesday shortly after he had signaled to the Matrix board his intention to resign.
Di Cristoforo is expected to take a break from the industry, with Matrix believed to have already initiated the process to find and appoint his replacement.
The dealer group was regarded as being "on the block" for around 18 months, but announced late last year that it was no longer on the market.
