Effective July 13, Militello will succeed Counselor Power 50 member Neil Ringel, who is retiring after more than seven years leading the company and who will remain actively involved as an adviser and member of the Board of Directors.

Militello joins PCNA following a career leading consumer products, branded goods and go-to-market organizations. Most recently, he served as president of Dometic Mobile Cooling, where he led the Dometic, Igloo and Cool Gear brands. Prior to Dometic, he served as senior vice president of Igloo Products and held senior leadership roles with Masco Cabinetry, Bang & Olufsen America, HoMedics, Coleman and Lava World International.

“What drew me to PCNA was the quality of the business Neil and the team have built – the brands, the relationships and the people,” said Militello. “I’ve spent my career in businesses where staying close to the customer is what drives growth, and that’s exactly how I intend to approach this role. I’m looking forward to getting to work with this team and continuing to build something our customers and partners can count on.”

Ringel expressed his gratitude for the chance to head up PCNA for seven years. “Leading PCNA has been the privilege of my professional career,” he said. “I am incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished together and grateful for the dedication, resilience and passion of our employees.”

He added that Militello is “an exceptional leader,” and that he’s confident in his ability to lead PCNA into the future.

“Neil and the team have built a great business at PCNA – an industry leader with marquee brands, loyal distributor relationships and a commitment to operational excellence,” said Jesse Ge, managing director at Charlesbank Capital Partners, a private investment firm that has invested in PCNA.

Ge also praised Militello for his work as “a customer-centric leader” with a “track record of growth.”

“We look forward to supporting Josh and the PCNA team as they continue to grow and innovate in their industry,” he added.

PCNA’s 2025 North American promotional products sales were $666.6 million, up 1% from the previous year. New Counselor Top 40 rankings will be released later this month.
