BUSINESS of print 805

PI: How much of an issue is lack of industry experience for a CEO?

Malone: I believe our organization is enthusiastic about my past experience in being able to strategize, to marshal resources, and to redirect and refocus some of our resources.

We are a multiple market supplier to a customer base with needs beyond printing. Pure printing accounts for no more than 35 to 40 percent of our business. (Printing expertise) is only one, perhaps small, element of what's required in terms of the experience necessary to be brought into this situation.
