thINK | January 2025

Happy New Year, there!

 

I am honored to assume the role of thINK Board President for 2025, and I extend a warm welcome to our two new esteemed colleagues: Tom Ling (Managing Member, Advantage Colorgraphics) and Fred Van Alstyne (Chief Operating Officer, Cathedral Corporation).

 

I have had the privilege of serving on the thINK Board for over five years, and I am truly excited to step into this leadership position. My company's mission and my own personal values deeply resonate with the spirit of thINK — to experience the profound joy of investing in others. Investing in people yields immeasurable returns, and I am honored to contribute to thINK's mission to foster growth, cultivate meaningful connections, and ensure the continued success of the inkjet industry.

 

In just a few weeks, the thINK Board will kick off planning for our annual flagship event, thINK Ahead, to take place July 14–16 in Boca Raton. To help guide our planning, I would greatly appreciate a reply to this email with your thoughts and ideas on the following:

  • What key challenges is your company currently facing in 2025?
  • What best practices from your company would you like to share with the inkjet community?
  • Who are some keynote speakers you would be most excited to hear from at thINK Ahead?

Along with your input above, tell me a little bit about yourself. I value building strong relationships, both professionally and personally. Beyond my role as CEO at Impact, I enjoy the outdoors, playing golf, spending quality time with my wife and three teen daughters, and hunting season.


I look forward to your valuable input and a successful year ahead for thINK!
