FindLaw's New General Manager Michael Mathias to Focus on Growth March 21, 2013 9:01 AM
When it comes to running companies, Michael Mathias knows that growth and customer service are key. And he's bringing that knowledge and experience to FindLaw.
Mathias signed on as FindLaw's new General Manager in November. He's a welcome addition to our management team as FindLaw continues to grow -- both as a resource for consumers looking for legal help, and as a provider of business development solutions for small law firms.
"FindLaw has an important role in the legal industry," Mathias said. "Small law firms need our leading marketing services to grow their businesses and connect them with consumers in search of legal resources. I am excited to be a part of this team and aim to build on the history of FindLaw's success."
By joining FindLaw, Mathias brings 25 years of experience in leading initiatives around corporate strategy, database marketing, and customer relationship management.
For example, in a previous role as general manager for Acxiom, a marketing technology company, he managed nearly $400 million in growth for its financial services markets. He also helped Merkle Inc., a customer-relationship marketing agency grow its business from $10 million to more than $250 million in the span of a decade.
Mathias' skills, industry experience, and leadership capabilities will help drive future growth for FindLaw, which remains the No. 1 consumer legal website, said Karl Florida, director of the Small Law Firm & Consumer segment for Thomson Reuters.
"He has an established history of leading complex organizations and developing company cultures that attract and retain the best talent," Florida said. "Both skill sets position him to help FindLaw provide excellent service and exceptional value to our customers with our innovative marketing solutions."
Before joining the FindLaw family, Mathias served as chief commercial officer for a private equity-backed marketing agency called Qdmh. Mathias earned his bachelor's degree in English from Occidental College and his MBA from the Carey Business School at Johns Hopkins University.
FindLaw welcomes its new GM and looks forward to the years ahead!

Caption Anthony Geary of ‘General Hospital’ LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- “General Hospital” celebrates its 50th anniversary today and the milestone is a big deal to the cast, including the legendary Anthony Geary.“It’s a big day. I mean… it’s hard to even put into words,” Anthony, who plays, arguably, the most famous male character on daytime – Luke Spencer – told Access Hollywood, when we visited the show’s Los Angeles set.“50 years on television — a show that has been entertaining people for two generations. It’s pretty amazing and to be part of it. [And I] have been on for 35 years, so that’s well over half my life,” Antony continued. “And I’m just thrilled that we’re still here.”PHOTOS: ‘General Hospital’ - Scenes From The Nurses’ Ball & More Cast Pics Luke Spencer has had an incredible run on “General Hospital.” He came from the wrong side of the Port Charles docks, and has had a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, that featured adventures with the likes of Robert Scorpio, romance (like marrying Laura in front of a TV audience of 30 million), and tragedy.“He’s [an] endlessly fascinating character,” Anthony told Access of Luke. “I’ve never grown tired of him and sometimes he doesn’t really get to show all of his — the darkness of his soul, or the romantic side of him but everything is coming together right now in a really beautiful way. So, it’s thrilling for me.”WATCH IT NOW: ‘General Hospital’ Celebrates 50th Anniversary – On The Set!Asked about his fondest memories from the show, Anthony said working with Jonathan Jackson, who played his son, Lucky Spencer (and is now on ABC’s primetime drama, “Nashville”) rank very high.“There are so many because it’s so much of my life. I would have to say that almost every scene I’ve ever played with Jonathan Jackson was really important to me,” Anthony said. “He’s an amazing actor and to work with him from the time he was 11, until the present day, has been extraordinary.”WATCH IT NOW: Kirsten Storms (Maxie) Dishes On General Hospital’s 50th AnniversaryAs for Antony’s current work on the show, the disappearance of Luke and Laura’s daughter Lulu means Anthony’s character will sadly, not be a part of the Nurses’ Ball.“Luke and Laura are off trying to find their daughter, so we are not at the Nurses’ Ball. But so many of my friends are in [it], so many surprises are coming up that even on days I’m not working, I will probably come in and watch like a fan,” he told Access as “GH” began to film the Nurses’ Balls scenes on the day of our visit.PHOTOS: The Romance Of Luke & Laura “General Hospital” celebrates 50 years, starting today on ABC.-- Jolie Lash
