Mindy Godwin is the president of her family owned and operated company, American Reprographics Corporation. ARC opened it’s doors in September 1978 when her father Steve Hamburger saw an opportunity in the toner and ink industry when Xerox lost an antitrust suit and had to divulge all of their patents and secrets about toner. At the time Xerox was in control of all of the ink on the market and this gave way to other companies to come in and market Xerox’s technology with a private label, saving company’s upwards of 40-60% on printer, copier and fax ink. Now this also opened the doors to a lot of inferior products as well and if you know the phrase toner pirate, this is where that came from. Bad products came out, ink that would open in your machines causing damage and it really gave so many companies who were doing the right thing, a bad name. Frankly people were scared to buy toner that wasn’t OEM, (Original Equipment Manufacture). Luckily American Reprographics always stayed ahead of the curve and they kept their name free of any bad publicity. Let’s face it, talk is cheap so for many years, and even today when they need to, they offer free evaluations on all of their compatible toner cartridges to prove that their word is valid. They not only have compatibles available but all name brands as well. They want companies to save money on ink when they can so ARC always offers an alternative if one is available for their toner. They steer clear from compatible color toner and never suggest buying compatible inkjet cartridges, even more they don’t ever suggest buying remanufactured toner unless you’re an environmentalist but if you are just wanting to save money, this isn’t the way. You’ll end up spending more on replacing your printers. They can thank Xerox for all of the printer and copier technology out there. HP, Lexmark, Canon, Brother, you name it, all the technology stems from Xerox.

Born into an entrepreneurial family, Julie Gareleck was convinced that business was not her passion and that becoming a reporter was more intriguing. At the age of 21, Julie punched her international card, in Paris, working for Angela de Bona, the top PR Agent, representing the top fashion photographers in the world. A venture to Philadelphia after Paris directed Julie to work for a leading entrepreneurship institute.

In a few short years, she was recruited to join a venture capital organization, focused on early stage companies in Technology, Biotechology, among other industries, as its Executive Director. Julie earned her place in the Board Room at the age of 25.

A transition to Atlanta over 12 years ago enabled Julie to take her strategy experience and work as a senior strategist for interactive advertising agencies. It was here that Julie realized there was a gap between business-based strategy and what was defined as strategy at agencies. Junction Creative Solutions was born out of the need for strategies that intersect key business segments and the need for a firm that can manage the implementation. For over 8 years, Junction has worked with nearly 225 companies, helping do just that.

Julie has created an environment that empowers her team and her clients to be the very best they can be, and success follows naturally. She has earned the respect of her peers not just for her shining personality, but for her authenticity, integrity, and drive as a business leader. Her portfolio includes measurable integrated strategies for prominent brands across various industries, including Yahoo!, Mailboxes Etc., National City Corporation (PNC Bank), GE Energy, Mohawk Industries, Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc. (SWM), and Alcatel-Lucent. Early stage companies in the portfolio include AcuteCare Telemedicine, 85 Broads, Intelaplay, Competitive Sports Analysis, XIOSS, Infinite Resource Solutions, Guardian Watch, Pro Diligence, Cost Management Group, the National Tennis Foundation, Saffire Vapor, among others.

Julie established the JXN Executive Roundtable in 2012 as a resource for entrepreneurs, senior executives, and marketing leaders to share industry experiences and insights. She remains actively involved in industry organizations often participating as an expert panelist or guest speaker.
