A Message from our CEO - Organizational Announcement

Fellow PLI Teammates,
I am pleased to announce an upcoming addition to the sales leadership organization at PLI.
Effective Tuesday, January 2nd, Scott Begbie will join us as Vice President of Sales for our HEAT (Hospitality, Events, Advertisement & Transit) segment reporting to me. Scott is a seasoned sales executive with over 30 years of experience working in various industries as a Sales professional.
Scott brings extensive background with RFID labeling and access control cards, working with cruise lines and partner programs. He currently resides in Ohio with his wife but will soon call Asheville his second home.
Scott will be responsible for the direction and leadership of our sales team in our hospitality, advertising, and events sectors. Reporting to Scott will be Holly Phillips and Dusty McKeelan.
I would like to thank Stephen Magee for stepping up and helping lead the HEAT sales department over the past few months. Stephen will go back to his Gift & Loyalty Client Development Director role.
Please join me in welcoming Scott.
Sincerely,
Mark McEachen, Chairman and CEO
