Mark Gianinni, Co-Founder, CEO, and Director

Beginning 25 years ago, Mr. Gianinni co-founded Home Cinema, Inc. With proprietary software system and processes as its core, Home Cinema was the first to bring to market a “video store within a store” concept which was deployed by top supermarket chains like Albertsons and Kroger, Later in his career he founded Strand Communications, Inc. which provided a single gateway for multiple disparate systems within hospital environments.

.
Immediately after selling SCI to Telco, Inc. in 1989, Gianinni founded Datalinc to pursue using satellite as a broad medium for communications applications. Datalinc was the first independent shared VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) hub in the U.S, providing a VSAT platform to Fortune 500 companies that included Ashland Oil, Standard Register, Providian Insurance and US Bancorp. In 1994, Mr. Gianinni recognized that an online data communication network as a natural and necessary progression for retail, where the use of multiple dial-up lines for various countertop point-of-sale devices and back office applications is the rule.
.
In April 1998, Datalinc changed its name to ThruComm and began to pursue the market for an end-to-end managed network solution for retail and EFT businesses. Mr. Gianinni went on to develop the concept for Accel Networks that he co-founded in 2002.
