Dan Singleton

Chairman of the Advisory Board

Dan Singleton is a retired corporate executive and CEO with over 35 years of experience in strategic and operational leadership. He built his career around sales growth, operational excellence, strategic innovation, and crisis management.

Dan joined Harland Clarke in 1988 after holding positions at two Fortune 500 companies and was quickly promoted through the sales organization. In 2008, he was named President and COO, overseeing financial results, strategy, sales, marketing, manufacturing, delivery, and execution. That year, the company achieved a record-high revenue of $1.79 billion. Following that, in 2012, Dan became President and CEO, leading the Senior Leadership Team. Under his leadership, Harland Clarke delivered operational excellence and intelligent solutions to more than 50 million consumers and 6 million small- and medium-sized businesses annually. The company also held approximately 26% of the U.S. check-printing market, a highly concentrated industry.

In 2021, Dan became the CEO of Valassis Communications, a publicly traded company with approximately 8.2% market share in the U.S. direct mail advertising industry. The company accelerated profitable revenue growth for 70,000 businesses while engaging with over 120 million households daily. Prior to his retirement in 2022, Dan last served as Senior Advisor to the CEO of Vericast (formally Harland Clarke Holding and Valassis), where he helped drive the continued success and growth of the organization. Vericast was a portfolio company of MacAndrews & Forbes, a $22 billion American holding company with full or majority ownership in companies such as Marvel, Deluxe Digital Studios, and 1st Nationwide Bank. During the Covid-19 crisis, every portfolio company was greatly impacted, except for Vericast, which was the only surviving company in the portfolio at the time.
