About Joe Knutson

With over 18 years of leadership experience in the gift and decor industry, I have developed a reputation as a trustworthy and experienced professional who delivers results. As the President of PrintSwift, I oversee several wholesale and direct-to-consumer brands, with my primary responsibility being business development. Throughout my career, I have championed innovation and growth in every role. From my key role in the growth of P. Graham Dunn from a small craft producer to an industry leading gift and décor manufacturer, to the successful launch of an in-store personalized gift laser program now operating in over 300 retailers nationwide, my proven track record underlines my ability to deliver transformative results. One of my greatest achievements in recent years is the development of an adaptive and scalable product development and manufacturing system, which resulted in over Amazon product listings within just 18 months. This system has also facilitated the rapid launch of a new wholesale brand over the course of a few weeks. My pragmatic, tech-forward approach coupled with my deep industry relationships has been integral to my success. I firmly believe there is always a path forward, and that building meaningful relationships is key to creating mutually beneficial business opportunities. Looking ahead, I am committed to further expanding my current company and seeking new opportunities within our market. My vision is underpinned by a love for dreaming big and embracing innovative ideas. I understand the nuances and dynamics of the gift and decor industry like few others. If you\'re looking for a seasoned, reliable, and visionary business partner who understands your needs, let\'s connect and explore possibilities.
