2007 Printing Industry Hall of Fame — Master of the Deal - Chris Colville

Equally as important, no matter how many major deals Colville and CGX had consummated, it was important to appreciate one little detail: For the man sitting across the desk from Colville, it was likely his first and only sale.

“You need to give a potential deal the same attention, interest level and effort on your 50th deal that you did on the first one,” notes Colville, 49, the recently retired chief financial officer for CGX. But it wasn’t his CFO exploits that landed him onto the list of 2007 Printing Impressions/RIT Printing Industry Hall of Fame inductees; at least, that’s not how history will remember him.
