Aidmatrix was merged with Atlanta-based organization, Techbridge, Inc. as of January 1st of 2015. TechBridge is a nonprofit that drives community impact by bringing affordable technology and business expertise to other nonprofits.HistoryThe Aidmatrix Foundation, Inc. began with a group of i2 Technologies’ employees who set up the i2 Foundation. Jason Rushton, an i2 employee and former captain of military logistics automation, initiated the plan of using i2’s supply chain management technology for use in disaster relief. While serving in Kosovo, he saw how difficult it was for organizations to get the items they needed most in disaster situations. Ms. Lekha Singh is the visionary behind Aidmatrix. Ms. Singh not only founded the organization but also pioneered the use of innovative technology to change the way aid is delivered both in disaster relief and in day-to-day needs. She was concerned that much needed food and medical supplies were going to the landfill while many people went hungry and without medicine. Her background with i2’s supply chain technology led her to implement these best practices in business while adding the compassion required to help with humanitarian relief. In October 2000, the i2 Foundation launched the Aidmatrix project to focus on this mission. The Aidmatrix project became a separate, self-sustaining entity called The Aidmatrix Foundation, Inc. in February 2004. From 2005 - 2014, the President and CEO of Aidmatrix was Scott McCallum, former governor of the State of Wisconsin. The current CEO is Mark Theilken.
