Family First
Greg Muzzillo, founder of Cleveland-based Proforma, never planned on being a bigwig in the printing and promotional products industry. In fact, a career in print merely was an afterthought. Friendship, a bit of cash and a soup diet were all it took to get there—or so the story goes.
After graduating from college in 1977, Greg and his college fraternity brother/roommate embarked on separate journeys. Greg got his first taste of the corporate world when he joined the staff of a big 8 CPA firm as an auditor. Meanwhile, his friend went to work for a small print broker. Neither got off to a great start, and they decided to combine their respective talents to launch Proforma.
