About Michael Mahalis

I am an experienced business leader and entrepreneur with a proven track record in operations, management, and business development across multiple industries, including real estate, digital media, and retail. In 2015, I transitioned from corporate leadership to begin building my own businesses, founding Colossal LLC, a diversified company encompassing real estate investment and one of the largest independent car-sharing fleets in Philadelphia. In 2025, I strategically exited the car rental industry to focus on Vivid Digital Media, a subsidiary of Colossal LLC, helping local businesses grow through innovative advertising, digital marketing, and DOOH solutions.Earlier in my career, I advanced from Customer Service Associate to General Manager at Wawa, gaining over a decade of experience leading teams, managing operations, and delivering exceptional customer service. I also served as Adjunct Faculty at Cecil College, teaching Business Management and mentoring students to apply practical, real-world concepts in their studies.I hold an MBA from Penn State University and a B.S. in Business Administration from Millersville University of Pennsylvania, with expertise spanning operations, supply chain, marketing, and team leadership. My professional focus is on creating scalable business solutions, developing high-performing teams, and driving measurable growth for organizations and entrepreneurs.
