Our Team
In the early 1990s, Mike Gianni launched his career in the printing industry with a sales job at a regional auto sales publication. Over the next few years, he made great professional strides, continuing his career with the #1 rated local daily newspaper. In 1995 he took the next step in his career as a sales representative with one of the premier, high-end printers in the country, Lithographix. Mike spent the next decade working for various high-end commercial printers, learning the industry, increasing his printing knowledge and building relationships. His growing list of clients soon learned that his experience and expertise were second to none. In early 2004 clients began expressing their desire to have Mike manage ALL of their printing needs, not just the high-end projects. There was a need in the marketplace to have a company that could facilitate all levels of printing. And so, in the fall of 2004, in response to these client demands, Mike Gianni, along with his wife, Jody, launched Touch Plate.

Jody Gianni has over twelve years of marketing and sales experience across a broad spectrum of business types. She has worked as a marketing manager for the Clayton, CA office of Better Homes Realty; as a product marketing manager for Premenos, an EDI software developer; as a marketing manager at Net Wireless where she directed all collateral and direct mail efforts; as an account executive at AT&T's cable accounts division; and most recently as a sales representative at All American Label. Her in-depth understanding of marketing and sales needs across various business platforms leaves her uniquely qualified to help clients strategize and fulfill their own promotional needs.
