After a nearly three-decade run with the company he founded—Summit Publishing Company, now PMMI Media Group (PMG)—longtime President and Publisher Joe Angel recently stepped down to become PMMI’s executive vice president of industry outreach. In his new role he will act as an ambassador to the education community, PMMI members, and key industry partners—such as brands and CPGs.

Dave Newcorn, who joined Summit in 1995, as a promising, tech-savvy editor for Packaging World took over as president on Oct. 1. In those early days, Newcorn was warned by founding Chief Editor Arnie Orloski “not to work on that web s**t during business hours.”

Deftly sidestepping that admonition, Newcorn built the first website for Packaging World, which all CONTRACT Manufacturing & Packaging content is now posted on as well. Newcorn has since spearheaded Summit/PMG’s transition to modern digital publishing. He continues to guide its evolution today.
