John Mandelker
John Mandelker (1956- ) first entered the business world as president of Streetside Records. Though not the founder, he led the company in its formative years as it grew to 25 stores, a top fifty chain nationally, with "Retailer of the Year" recognition from the industry trade association.

In 1980, Mandelker established Sight & Sound Distributors, and was one of the pioneers of the burgeoning home video industry. In this role Mandelker intoduced videocassettes to grocery store, was Blockbuster's first supplier and led Sight & Sound to become the world's third largest distributors including exclusive licensing agreements in Eastern Europe.

Tired of the entertainment industry after nearly 20 years, Mandelker joined the legions of dot-comers establishing a software and services firm serving call centers as they evolved into contact centers. In his role as president of Tapestry Integration he led the creation of a new product category, CT "lite". Tapestry's product, Simple*CT, was chosen as product of the year when introduced.

Following the sale to Eclipse Networks, Mandelker joined Tubular Steel, where as its Executive Vice President he is leading the company's efforts to evolved from a service center to a steel parts manufacturer serving capital equipment and consumer goods manufacturers.
