Aldo Spensieri, Clover Imaging Group<\/p><\/div>\n

For the better part of 30 years, Aldo Spensieri has been a solutions aficionado. The vice president, MPS Solutions for Clover Imaging Group (CIG), loves being able to bring innovative solutions to the industry. His resume includes a number of impressive accomplishments, including seat-based billing and CIG\u2019s Axess Managed Print Services program.<\/p>\n

Spensieri has also participated in teams that have produced innovations such as smart machine learning algorithms to bring predictive actions for device supply and service. He\u2019s currently working with CompTIA\u2019s<\/a> Emerging Technology Community to gain a better perspective on the latest technologies and their impact across multiple industries, as well as how they can be applied to the office technology sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not afraid of innovation and I want to use it to make processes and chores easier for the dealer community,\u201d said Spensieri, a 2018 ENX Magazine<\/em> Difference Maker. \u201cI\u2019m open to all ideas and will use and adopt new solutions if it fits my goal of helping the dealers and resellers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spensieri studied data processing in college, yet his first major gig was in customer service and sales in the envelope industry. After an eight-year stint, he decided to leverage his IT education and sales experience to find a more suitable calling in the office technology space. He worked for a Canadian firm that sold data products and imaging supplies to end users, which was a gateway to the cartridge remanufacturing industry in 2001. The IT background and an understanding of software technology and imaging supplies served as catalysts for his move into MPS.<\/p>\n

Having been well-traveled professionally, Spensieri has benefitted from interactions with many key influences across the technologies universe. Alain Lachambre, with whom he worked at Tecknolaser, always sought to create a differentiating factor, that uniqueness in marketing a product or solution to create a \u201cwow\u201d factor. In FlexPrint\u2019s Tom Callinan, Spensieri found an early MPS mentor who provided critical insight for Tecknolaser\u2019s Remote Print Management solution, an MPS forerunner. Tom Day, the former CEO of West Point Products, impressed Spensieri with his leadership by example and belief in employee empowerment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey all had one thing in common\u2014no one is greater than the whole,\u201d Spensieri related. \u201cRegardless of whether one is a leader or a team member, everyone has an equal role.\u201d<\/p>\n

Striking a Balance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spensieri also gained an appreciation for the importance of striking a work and life balance. Early in his career, Spensieri sat next to his firm\u2019s president at a company kickoff event. They discussed work and personal life, and the top exec passed on some words of wisdom. \u201cWork hard,\u201d the president said, \u201cbut don\u2019t be stupid about it. Go home when it\u2019s time to be with your wife and family. I didn\u2019t take my own advice, and I\u2019m on my third marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLife is too short to be focused on only work and your career,\u201d Spensieri added. \u201cMake sure you enjoy what you do and that will reflect in your success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spensieri is proud of his team being awarded the MPSA Best MPS Innovation Award in collaboration with Print Audit and GreatAmerica Financial Services for its seat-based billing solution. Looking ahead, he is determined to keep innovating and bringing new ideas and solutions to CIG\u2019s dealer base.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cI\u2019m honored to lead a team of true MPS and business professionals who understand the industry and who can help push the limits and break through some of the barriers that come with a mature industry,\u201d Spensieri remarked. \u201cOur team goal is to promote and educate the dealers in how to market the new solutions to their customers allowing the dealer to be a solution partner rather than just a transactional vendor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spensieri is also an avid member of several committees aimed at educating and leveraging technologies, from MPSA\u2019s Education Committee to CompTIA\u2019s<\/a> Technology Lifecycle Services Community and the SBB Council.<\/p>\n

On the personal front, Spensieri and his wife, Rosie, have been married 39 years. The couple enjoys\u001b traveling, particularly in Europe, while he loves to play racquetball, ski and hike. They have two children (Melissa and Daniel) who are both married, and the Spensieris will soon be welcoming their first grandchild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
