Welcome to the 2019 Power 50 list, which ranks the most influential people in the industry.

#14 David Nicholson, Polyconcept North America

2018 Rank: 14
Title: President
Industry Experience: 26 years

Heading up PCNA, one of the industry’s most well-regarded suppliers, Nicholson – a past Counselor Person of the Year – is the steady hand and voice of reason offering consistent industry experience within a company that’s gone through multiple changes at the executive level in the last two years. And while Neil Ringel, formerly of Staples, was brought in earlier this year as the chairman of the board of Polyconcept, it’s under Nicholson’s leadership that the company enjoyed 8% growth in 2018 with $654 million in domestic sales and an impressive six 2019 Counselor Distributor Choice Awards – more than any other supplier. Known for its design, delivery and decoration, PCNA continues to set the bar as a lifestyle brand in the marketplace for its 22,000 distributor clients. On the Power 50 list since 2009, Nicholson’s peer scores are high, as his colleagues note that he’s one of the most respected leaders in the promo business today.
