JGI Team
Key Employees
John P. Gannon
– President
Using his experience
from thirty years in the billboard industry, as the owner of several
independent outdoor advertising companies in Austin and Houston,
as well as a consultant for Clear Channel and Viacom, John began
what we all fondly refer to as “JGI Outdoor” in August,
1994. Seeing himself as the “Land Man”, John leaves
the day-to-day operations of the company to Carrie and prefers to
dig his boot heels into all acquisitions, new billboard construction,
and overall company growth. For John, a “billboard-oholic”,
who eats, drinks, and breaths billboards…it’s a good
thing they are not fattening!
Carrie Kirkland
- Vice President
Carrie, a founding
veteran of JGI Outdoor since it’s inception in August, 1994,
has earned the nickname “Queen Bee”. Under Carrie’s
guidance JGI Outdoor has grown from just two employees to _ employees
in August, 2003. She spends half her day overseeing the daily operations
of the Accounting, Production and Sales Departments for all the
JGI territories, and the other half of her day assisting (okay,
really “nagging”) John Gannon. If you see a black T-Bird
with the license plate “QN BEEE” and a pool cue in the
back window buzzing around town, honk…it’s Carrie!
Shari Barnes
– Bookkeeper
After coming
to JGI in October, 2000, Shari Barnes took on the challenge of bringing
JGI Outdoor’s accounting systems from using ancient Chinese
abacuses to computerized invoices and checks. She sends out client
invoices, pays the bills, processes receivables, payables, and payroll.
If you ask Shari what is most “taxing” about her job,
she will tell you it’s licking all those envelopes!
Cheryl Molbert
– Account Executive
– Houston Territory
Cheryl “The
Memory Girl” was recruited at the ripe old age of twenty-one
in July, 1995. Now, as sales coordinator and inside sales, her photographic
memory enables her to provide her customers with unmatched familiarity
of the billboard industry in Houston. Don’t be fooled by Cheryl’s
young age, the only thing juvenile about Cheryl is her appearance!
Ellen Polansky
– Account Executive
– Houston Territory
Fondly referred
to as “The Billboard Lady” by her co-workers and customers,
Ellen, a graduate of Lamar University, started with JGI Outdoor
in February, 1997. With over twenty-two years of experience in the
advertising industry, Ellen, JGI Outdoor’s girl on the street,
calls on small businesses to major advertising agencies. Ellen’s
excitement for billboards is so contagious that she can sell a billboard
before it is even built!
Pam Brown
– Account Executive
– New Braunfels, San Marcos & Ottine Territory
Since joining
the JGI Outdoor team in March, 2001, Pam has single handedly, and
successfully, taken charge over the sales for the Ottine and San
Marcos/New Braunfels Territories. Driving from city to city...knocking
on door to door, Pam proves time and time again that her priority
is her customer. When not racing her horses, Pam can be seen racing
to sell her billboards!
Travis Hodges
– Production Manager
Travis, a recent
UT graduate, started at JGI Outdoor in August, 2002. After being
the new guy (and the only guy) at the corporate office, Travis has
quickly become a vital member of the corporate staff. Besides answering
the telephones, Travis manages vendor relations, coordinates billboard
maintenance, and assists Alex Montoya in the art department with
the creation of advertising layouts. If you are wondering if Travis
is as cute as he sounds on the telephone….he is!
