Think the Mailing Industry Is Going Downhill? Don’t Tell That to Mike Critelli
Yes, yes, media are predicting the demise of the mailing industry. But look again. This institution is alive and well as a $900-billion industry that still makes the daily rounds come rain, sleet, or snow. For 11 years as CEO of Pitney Bowes, Mike Critelli led the way to revolutionize the mailing industry with advances in the technology and strategy of moving mail from place to place. Along the way, he pioneered modernizing corporate health and wellness practices. Since stepping down as CEO of Pitney Bowes, Mike has emerged as a leading voice in employer-based, health-care strategy as CEO of Dossia. Mike talks with The American Entrepreneur, Ron Morris, about his efforts, past and present, to revolutionize two of the premier industries in the United States – mail delivery and health care.
