Philip Hageman, President/CEO Target Marketing

Kentucky native Philip Hageman embarked on a career in publishing in 1997, when he served as national sales director at CommunityLink. After four years in that role, he took over as chief executive officer (CEO) and minority owner in 2001. It was under Hageman's leadership that CommunityLink's profits saw a 400-percent increase.

In 2004, Hageman sold his CommunityLink ownership and joined The Map Group, a custom mapping company based in Crescent Springs, Ky., where he again filled the role of CEO. In January 2009, SouthComm, Inc., acquired The Map Group's chamber of commerce publishing assets and formed Target Communications, the largest chamber of commerce map production company, over which Hageman currently serves as president and CEO.

Hageman served in the United States Army from 1985 to 1987, when he was honorably discharged. He holds a degree in political science from the University of Kentucky.

Hageman and wife, Rennae, reside in Florence, Ky.
