The DOmedia Team

Leadership | Human Resources | Sales & Marketing | Client Services | Tech Team

Andy Mansinne - ceo

Twenty years in consumer goods, fifteen of which were in the beverage sector, teaches you many things; like the importance of a strong brand, the innate ability to coordinate multi-channel campaigns, and an impeccable taste in wine…and bourbon…and whiskey. Yep, we knew we liked Andy for a reason. As Chief Executive with DOmedia, Andy’s "connect and collaborate" leadership style keeps us competitive and focused on the future. And his desire to do all of this while having fun as a team keeps us, well, happy.

After beginning his esteemed career with Ralston Purina and Quaker Oats, Andy spent over 12 years with the renowned libation corporation, Brown-Forman. Working through the ranks from Brand Director to Vice President and Senior Vice President, Andy had the opportunity to work on every wine brand in the company’s portfolio and successfully lead the growth of those wine brands. In addition, Andy had the opportunity to help reinvigorate a struggling wine sales division that spanned both domestic and international markets. Looking back on his experience, one could say that Andy has a knack for building brands, businesses and teams.

Andy earned his BA from the University of Virginia and his MBA from the University of Michigan. He enjoys civic involvement and has served on or advised the boards of five non-profit organizations.

Jeff Bell - chairman

It could be his extensive education, his 20+ years of experience managing world-renowned brands and award-winning campaigns, or perhaps his reputation for innovation and success that makes Jeff such a motivational leader. But the truly inspiring thing about Jeff is his passion for what he does and it's ability to rub off on the people around him. Jeff is constantly on the move, always looking for ways to grow, improve and adapt DOmedia and the industry as a whole.

Before joining us at DOmedia, Jeff served as Corporate Vice President of Global Marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business (say that five times fast) at a little company you may have heard of called Microsoft. There Jeff led Xbox to its first profitable year and launched Halo 3, Rock Band, Gears of War and Guitar Hero III. In addition, his global marketing team oversaw the rapid expansion of the Xbox LIVE community from 4 million to more than 15 million members. Before his Microsoft days, Jeff served as Corporate Vice President at DaimlerChrysler where he was largely credited with helping revitalize the Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler businesses. He also led the Dodge "That Thang Gotta Hemi," "Jeep Trail-Rated" and Chrysler's "Inspiration Comes Standard" campaigns. And his work hasn't gone unnoticed by the industry. In 2005, Advertising Age named him Interactive Marketer of the Year, Entertainment Marketer of the Year in 2007 and one of Marketing's Top 50 in 2008. His work on the Halo 3 launch was also recognized with the Cannes Grand Prix Titanium Lion Award for best marketing campaign of 2008.

Jeff earned his BA from the Kenyon College, a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University and an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He serves on the boards of numerous start-ups and as a trustee of his alma mater, Kenyon College.

Jeff Lamb - chief technology officer

What do you call someone with crazy-sharp IT skills who is equally comfortable talking P&Ls, strategic plans and marketing objectives? Around DOmedia, we call him "CTO," although he really prefers we just call him Jeff.

As you look through Jeff's background, one thing jumps out at you (and it's not just the cosmic rays). . . he has honestly done a little bit of everything. We're talking real estate mogul, restaurant owner, consulting services entrepreneur, U.S. Air Force Captain, chief technology officer, and - no joke - spy satellite engineer (he could tell you all about this one, but then he'd have to kill you). Chronologically speaking, after graduating with a degree in Computer Engineering, Jeff spent four years active duty as an officer in the Air Force working at the National Air Intelligence Agency. Upon return to civilian life, he founded Computer Wizards Consulting, a virtualized computer consulting firm focused on database-intensive web applications. When Leader Technologies purchased Computer Wizards, Jeff stayed on as Chief Technology Officer and led the development of 60+ patentable technologies. After five years with Leader, Jeff decided to give the IT-thing a rest and (successfully) explored the worlds of real estate, restaurant and bar ownership (nice perks), and helped start a web-based telephone conferencing company.

Having enjoyed a semi-retired state, Jeff decided to return to the real world, accepting a Chief Technology Officer role with Interactive Ink, an interactive marketing company. As he helped to successfully launch a number of websites for a wide range of clients, he also helped prepare the company for its eventual sale to Northlich, a Cincinnati-based advertising agency. Following the acquisition, Jeff remained with Northlich as their Chief Technology Officer until fate brought him to DOmedia's door.

In his off hours, Jeff likes to use his unfair height advantage to squash opposing sand volleyball players. Squash 'em, like a bug. . . really small bugs with short legs. . . and no wings.

best advice ever received: Don't be stoopid.
hidden talent: You wouldn't think it to look at me, but I can run really fast.
favorite vacation spot: Rocky Point, Mexico
dog or cat?: Neither. I travel too much; often without a lot of pre-planning. It wouldn't be fair to keep a cat or dog with my schedule.

Rich Langdale - co-founder

Rich is our chief visionary, eternal optimist, tireless cheerleader and guiding compass. He keeps us on our toes and constantly moving forward, always encouraging us to think bigger and further outside the box.

Over the years, Rich has launched or co-launched more than a dozen companies, including Digital Storage Inc., a computer storage wholesaler, and Submit Order, the world's first and largest e-fulfillment company. In other words, he knows a thing or two about starting and building successful businesses.

He also loves sharing his experiences with others. While that would lead some professionals down the book-writing trail, Rich thinks big. Like really big. Like co-founding and co-funding the Center for Entrepreneurship at The Ohio State University in 2001 big (which quickly earned a tier one ranking from Entrepreneur Magazine, thank you very much). But why stop there? After co-founding and co-funding an entire discipline at one of the nation's largest universities, Rich also helped to develop the entrepreneurship and commercialization curriculum that he taught in undergraduate, MBA and Executive MBA courses.

In his spare time, Rich likes to play basketball, go mountain biking, save stranded kittens from tree tops and plot to take over the world.
