The executive ranks of HA-LO Industries were reconfigured last week as the firm attempts to change from a promotional products supplier to a brand marketing company.
Lou Weisbach, who founded HA-LO in 1972, with a $3,500 loan from his mother, stepped down as president and chief executive officer. Weisbach stays on as chairman of the HA-LO board, the company said.
Taking over as president and CEO is John Kelley, who joined HA-LO in 1998 when it purchased Upshot, the $35 million promotion marketing agency Kelley founded in 1994.
