Roark also works as an operating partner at Teleo Capital and was serving as interim CEO of Rand McNally. Teleo acquired Rand McNally in October 2020 and since that time has added key positions and invested in product research and development.

“I am truly humbled and honored to lead the next chapter in the incredible 165-year story of Rand McNally,” Dannenbring said. “As an active user of Rand McNally products for more than 40 years, I am delighted by the financial and operational commitment Teleo Capital has shown with its investment in the business and by the exceptional stewardship from board chairman Joe Roark and the rest of the Rand McNally team. We are primed with the resources, capabilities and team to transform and grow this iconic brand.”
