50. Dale Denham

PPAI

2020 Rank: N/A

Title: President/CEO

Industry Experience: 26 years

Just three months since taking the reins of PPAI, the promo industry’s venerated association, Denham steps in at a time when trade shows and events are fraught with challenges, and business models, client demographics and go-to-market strategies are changing at a rapid-fire pace. But Denham, a respected industry veteran with a strong background in technology – heading up the IT teams first with Impact, then ASI and most recently Counselor Top 40 distributor Geiger – has the industry knowledge, business acumen and relationships to be the catalyst for a reenergized and recalibrated PPAI, positioned with an eye toward the future.
