Tampa, Florida-based OAI Visual Branding, a provider of large-format print services, announces that Brian Mathiews is its new chief operating officer.

In his new role, working directly under OAI’s president and CEO, Michael Garcia, Mathiews will be providing day to day leadership and management that aligns with the company’s mission and core values to spearhead the development, communication and implementation of effective growth strategies and processes.

Mathiews is the former senior purchasing manager of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he has served as vice president of operations of the Aramark Corporation.

OAI (Outdoor America Images) changed its name to OAI Visual Branding earlier this year to better reflect its full scope of products and services, the company says.
