Classic Exhibits Inc., announces the addition of Harold Mintz to the Classic family. As a regional sales manager, Mintz will work alongside Jen LaBruzza, the national sales manager, to enhance and build the Classic Distributor Partner Network throughout North America. Classic Exhibits Inc., based in Portland, Ore., designs and manufactures tradeshow, retail and corporate environments for more than 200 independent distributor partners.
Mintz brings more than 20 years of tradeshow and event experience to Classic with previous leadership positions at custom houses, a portable/modular manufacturer and a graphic printer. More recently, he worked in the entertainment industry for seven years as the communications director for Shady Acres Entertainment.
According to VP Kevin Carty, “On behalf of the entire Classic Family of companies, we are excited to have Harold join us. Harold brings not just a wealth of industry knowledge, but also a great creative and inquisitive approach to relationships. He will compliment Jen LaBruzza and her efforts in creating, building, and maintaining our partnerships in North America. On a personal note, I have known Harold for 20 plus years—first as friendly competitors which then quickly developed into a friendship. When asked internally about Harold, I tell my colleagues, ‘He is one of us’ meaning he fits our culture and how we view the relationship between Classic and our Distributor Partners. I am excited to work with him professionally.”
Mintz says, “The tradeshow industry is chock full of creative, talented people. Classic has all that, plus a supportive, dynamic culture. I believe my background in sales, politics, training and public speaking combined with Classic’s capabilities are a perfect fit. I couldn’t be more excited to be joining the Classic Family. I look forward to working with the Distribution Network.”
Mintz also has a passion for organ donation programs, explaining, “I donated my left kidney back in 2000. It was one of the best and most impactful things I’ve ever done. I often speak to groups large and small about the life-saving benefits of organ donation.”
