Currently serving as the President & Chief Operating Officer of ExclaMarketing, Ralph plays a pivotal role in the company's operations and strategic direction. He is a dynamic leader with a proven track record of success in various roles within the marketing and printing industry.
Ralph's educational background includes a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Florida International University majoring in both marketing and international business, where he honed his skills in business management and marketing. With a strong foundation in these areas, he embarked on a remarkable career that has spanned several key positions.
In 2011, Ralph assumed the role of Director of Operations at ExclaMarketing, bringing his extensive knowledge and experience to propel the company forward. Prior to joining ExclaMarketing, he held the prestigious positions of President and Chief Operating Officer at Granada Printing Inc. Throughout his tenure at Granada Printing Inc., Ralph demonstrated exceptional leadership abilities, driving growth, and ensuring operational excellence. However, his experience in the graphic arts world didn’t begin there. He had his first taste of printing and signage at the early age of 14 and was working full-time as a pressman and sign painting apprentice at the age of 16 in his family’s business.
One of Ralph’s and ExclaMarketing’s crowning achievements in the signage industry was the installation of the sign on the roof of the American Airlines Arena when the name was being changed to the FTX Arena in late 2022. The sign had a footprint of 40,000 square feet and weighing over 104,000 Lbs., it was the largest sign of its type in the United States. Exclamarketing was awarded the project and Ralph played the key role of Project Manager where he coordinated a team of 30 people to complete the project on budget, in less than expected time and with a perfect safety record. The sign had to be lifted by helicopter in 52 separate pieces which made the task quite dangerous for both the team and people who happened to be close to the flight path of the helicopter. Ralph ensured that safety was the most important factor and coordinated with local police, fire and the FAA to make sure no one was injured, and any potential risk was minimized.
Alongside his professional commitments, Ralph actively contributes to the industry by serving on the Board of Directors of the Latin Builders Association. In addition, he holds the esteemed role of publisher for the association's renowned Proyecto Magazine, which showcases the latest developments and trends within the trade.
With his wealth of knowledge and experience in the marketing and the signage industry, Ralph Jimenez brings a unique perspective to any project. His strategic vision ,strong leadership, and commitment to excellence make him an invaluable asset in achieving and exceeding organizational goals.
