MailPix Co-founder Peter Tahmin Recognized for Photo Industry Contributions
Huntington Beach, CA (PRWEB) October 06, 2015 -- Peter Tahmin, co-founder and COO of MailPix, was presented with the "Unsung Hero Award" Sept. 28 by the Photo Marketing Association International (PMA), in recognition of his many contributions during his long photo industry career. Tahmin was one of several recipients during the Out of the Box Awards ceremony at the conclusion of the InnovationNow Photo Business and Technology Summit at the Parc 55 Hotel, San Francisco.
"The MailPix team is thrilled with this recognition of Peter's career and accomplishments," says Fred H. Lerner, founder and CEO.
Tahmin was chosen for this recognition because, throughout his career, he has navigated an astonishing array of technological and market changes. Like many professionals, he began his career at Berkey Marketing Companies, and later moved on to such companies as Ilford Photo and Colorfax.
In 1993, Tahmin made the jump to Digix Imaging, an Eastman Kodak subsidiary, as the director of digital services integration. For 10 years, he was the senior vice president/COO for Ritz Interactive, followed by serving as vice president of imaging and online for Ritz Camera & Image. In 2012, he joined long-time friend and partner Fred Lerner in founding MailPix.
As the imaging industry has evolved, so have Tahmin’s areas of responsibility. He is an e-commerce and mobile commerce expert. He began his career working with film, chemistry and photo paper, and now has moved to websites and mobile apps.
