Get in touch Meet our Associates MARGO 20+ YEARS SALES TRACK "During my time as an Associate, I was bullish about learning all I could about the business and our clients, and made sure to develop meaningful relationships across the organization. Eventually, that dedication paid off and I secured the position of VP of Strategic Sales, which later escalated to roles as Plant President, Platform Group Vice President, and Senior Vice President. Through ample opportunities, encouragement, and guidance, it was clear to me from the very beginning that RRD makes an investment in this program and truly believes Associates are given the foundation they need to become future leaders in this company." RACHEL 20+ YEARS SALES TRACK "Being a part of the Associate Program provided me with a firm foundation of the printing industry that has led to a successful 20-year career in print.

It was a rewarding journey that not only challenged me to be my best, but also surrounded me with supportive colleagues who I now consider close friends." IAN 17+ YEARS SALES TRACK "This Associate Program provided me with an opportunity to gain experience and knowledge in all aspects of our business. The Associate Program allowed me to build a strong peer and mentor network and identify areas where I needed further development.

RRD calls it a platform for professional and career growth and I couldn’t agree more." JENNIFER 6+ YEARS OPERATIONS TRACK "The Associate Program helped me realize how much of an impact each employee can have in every company.
