Mitchell Kaneff - “I Go. Or You Go…”

An interview with Mitchell Kaneff, CEO, business owner, producer and musician about how to be a modern man. We talk about success, role models and things to do and not to do. Mitchell is the author of “Taking Over: Insider Tips from a Third-Generation CEO” and the chairman and CEO of Arkay Packaging, a 98-year-old, family–owned and operated leader in the folding carton industry. Originally opened by Mitchell’s grandfather on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1922, Arkay has since expanded into a design studio in Hauppauge, NY, a sales office in New York City, and a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Roanoke, VA. Under Mitchell’s direction, Arkay continues to be a market frontrunner in providing companies, such as Revlon/Elizabeth Arden, Estée Lauder, Procter &amp; Gamble, and L’Oréal, with cutting-edge product packaging solutions. Mitchell, a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, began working at Arkay when he was still in high school, enabling him to expand and develop his expertise in print and management techniques, while refining his entrepreneurial skills — an ability which has contributed powerfully to Arkay’s growing success. In addition to his role as CEO and author, Mitchell is involved with his band, The Young Presidents, performing original rock music in the New York metropolitan area. He has produced and performed on several albums of original material over the years: His next album, “Songs From the Attic”, is due to be released this year. Mitchell Kaneff is active on the boards of Columbia University Business School, the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation, and the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke. He lives in New York City with his twin 19- year old sons — and possible fourth generation leaders of Arkay — Josh and Max.
