"I have worked in all areas of the business, but I most enjoy the operations and manufacturing end," says Hogg. "We've grown from a 120 employee, two press, single plant operation to a three plant, 4,100 employee company with operations in eight countries."

Valassis, which ranked number 10 on the 2004 Printing Impressions 400, reported an estimated $1.04 billion in annual revenues for its most recent fiscal year. This is a long way from Valassis' annual sales of $26 million when Hogg first joined the company. Hogg attributes much of the company's success to its break from traditional operating practices.
