Presstek adds a smile to its board

Hudson-based Presstek has appointed Brian Mullaney to its board of directors, the company announced on Thursday.

In June, Brian Mullaney became of president of the Smile Train, a New York-based nonprofit that provides free surgery to children whose mouths have been disfigured by cleft lip. The Smile Train also sponsors research in how to present the disease.

Before that, Mullaney founded Schell/Mullaney Advertising, a high-tech advertising agency that has since been sold off to CKS. All told, Mullaney spent 20 years in the advertising industry.

“His substantial marketing experience and business acumen will add dimension to Presstek’s board,” said John Dreyer, a lead director at Presstek, which markets digital imaging products to the graphic arts and laser imaging industries. — NHBR STAFF REPORT
