Andrew Pepper Andy began his career in hospitality in 1976, co-founding two publishing firms which created several industry trade journals. One of which was Directory of Incentive Travel International (DITI). Andy spent six years negotiating advertising contracts with many of the major airlines, hotels, cruiselines and advertising agencies worldwide. In 1982, DITI was acquired by Harcourt Brace Publishing and re-named Corporate Meetings and Incentives Magazine (CMI). Today, CMI is one of the most respected publications in the industry. In 1983, Andy started Pepper & Associates, a high level executive search firm which served the hospitality, medical and aerospace industries. During the next 17 years, he and his colleagues formed relationships with numerous Fortune 500 firms which included Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Lockheed, Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical, Wyeth labs, Baxter Labs, General Electric, Westinghouse, Johnson & Johnson and numerous hotels and resorts worldwide. Andy was well known and respected for his negotiating skills and his commitment to those he worked with. In 2000, Andy joined forces with Gary Wilkos and Mike Issac and became a partner of Pinnacle Marketing Group, Inc. Two travel subsidiaries were formed. The first, Corporate Golf Planner which Andy is both CEO and President has catered to a smaller market specializing in those groups where golf is the major theme or event pertinent to those trips. The flagship division is Nationwide Meetings, in which Andy is also CEO and President. While a big believer in delegating authority, Andy continues to oversee the areas of sales, marketing, advertising and the posture of the company as it relates to the industry.
