Bob Cronin, Managing Partner at The Open Approach and former CEO of Wallace Computer Systems, will keynote this special Holiday Technical Networking meeting. With nearly 40 years of print industry experience, Bob Cronin delivers an enviable combination of strategic leadership and tactical know-how. A managing partner of The Open Approach, Bob collaborates with clients in directing lucrative mergers and acquisitions, value enhancement initiatives, and other wealth-generating endeavors. His efforts have been critical in bringing about positive change and growth in markets that appear to lack opportunity.

Prior to co-founding The Open Approach, Bob served as chairman and CEO of Wallace Computer Services, a global provider of printing and related services. During his eight-year tenure in this role, Bob effectively led the company through a series of strategic initiatives that increased annual revenues from $400 million to $1.5 billion.
