Polyconcept, New Kensington, Pa., announced the appointment of Neil Ringel as its new CEO, effective today. Ringel, whose resume most recently includes head of corporate development for Staples, will replace Gene Colleran, PCNA’s CEO since 2015.
“We appreciate Gene’s many contributions to Polyconcept and wish him the very best,” Josh Klevens, managing director at Charlesbank Capital Partners, parent company of Polyconcept, said in a press release. “We are delighted to welcome Neil to the company, and are confident that his impressive experience and leadership track record will allow Polyconcept to continue its positive momentum while finding new and better ways to serve its customers and forge an even stronger future.”
Ringel’s 23-year stint at Staples included various executive roles across the company’s salesforce, digitization, and merger and acquisition activity, as well as overseeing the company’s promotional products business. During his time as president of North American delivery, he had a role in growing Staples’ B2B division into a $10 billion business with more than 1.5 million customers.
