2011 Hall of Fame: Joel Quadracci - The Next Generation

A Mover and Shaker

Joel Quadracci’s reign has lasted less than seven years (he became president in January 2005), but he has added his signature to Quad’s legend during that time. In 2010 alone, he helped engineer the biggest acquisition in the history of the U.S. printing industry with the addition of the Worldcolor/Quebecor World franchise. Simultaneously, he took the company public to avoid levering it up with debt, while maintaining voting control through ownership of high-value stock.
