Adelphi University has elected Gerald F. Mahoney '65 to its Board of Trustees. Mr Mahoney retired in 2001 as chairman, chief executive officer, and director of Mail-Well, Inc., and is a member and former treasurer of the Noyac Golf Club, and serves as chairman of three privately-owned companies. He joins 26 fellow Trustees and will serve on the Board's Advancement and Finance committees."Gerald Mahoney is a distinguished business leader committed to excellence," said Adelphi University Board of Trustees Chairman Michael J. Campbell '65. "His experience and talent will make him an invaluable asset to the Board."
"I am honored to join a distinguished Board of Trustees in guiding Adelphi, my alma mater, as it builds on its rich past and carries out its bold vision for the future," said Mr. Mahoney.
During his decade-long tenure with Mail-Well, Mr. Mahoney oversaw the acquisition of Georgia-Pacific's envelope business, as well as 50 strategic buyouts of competitors in the United States and Canada. In 1995, he guided the company's IPO, first on the NASDAQ, and later on the NYSE.
At the time of his retirement, Mail-Well had 16,000 employees, 150 printing facilities, a global leadership position in the printing industry, and annual sales of $2.4 billion. Today known as Cenveo, Inc. (NYSE: CVO), his former company continues to be a world-wide leader in commercial printing, envelope manufacturing, and direct mail.
After retirement, Mr. Mahoney was recruited to become a board member, and later interim CEO and chairman of Florida-based Workflow Management, another publicly traded printing firm. He subsequently supervised the successful sale of the company. He remains active in business, through investments in several privately-owned middle market companies, where he is a board member, and chairman of three of the companies.
A native of Brooklyn, Mr. Mahoney came to Adelphi after being accepted in a combined 5-year engineering program with Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He ultimately chose mathematics over physics, and remained at Adelphi. During his time at Adelphi, Mr. Mahoney was a member and president of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, and served as president of the Inter-Fraternity Council. After graduating from Adelphi, he received a scholarship from Northeastern University, where he earned his master's in accounting. Mr. Mahoney and his wife JoAnne now divide their time between Sag Harbor, New York, and Boca Raton, Florida.
