Andy Mandell, the company’s Chairman of the Board, began his career selling Addressograph-Multigraph equipment. When asked how Data-Mail was formed, Mandell stated, “I saw a need to transform what I was selling into a service to help companies get direct mail out more efficiently and effectively. There was a customer need and I liked the concept of selling a service versus equipment.”
