Expo Convention Contractors (EXPOCCI) is proud to recognize several outstanding team members who have recently been promoted, reflecting the company’s continued growth and commitment to developing talent across all departments and locations.
Vishal Jaggernauth – Chief Digital Officer (CDO) & Accountability Coach (Miami, FL)
With a deep-rooted connection to EXPOCCI dating back to its earliest days, Vishal Jaggernauth brings a strong blend of leadership, experience, and long-term vision to the organization. EXPOCCI has been part of Vishal’s life since the company’s founding in 1995, when his father served as the company draftsman and later helped build the Graphics and Sign Shop Department.
Vishal officially joined EXPOCCI in 2008 in the Graphics Department, where he was mentored by leaders who helped shape his leadership approach. Today, he is focused on helping scale the company by strengthening the digital, data, and technology foundation for EXPOCCI’s next phase of growth—with accountability at the core.
As Chief Digital Officer, Vishal leads EXPOCCI’s digital strategy across marketing, creative, design, IT alignment, and technology modernization, all aimed at improving efficiency and elevating client and employee experiences. He is especially excited about expanding AI-driven workflows and building a unified data and marketing ecosystem that delivers real-time insight and competitive advantage.
Passionate about building systems that empower people to do their best work, Vishal also enjoys continuous learning and photography outside of work. Looking ahead, his goal is to accelerate EXPOCCI’s digital transformation and help position the company as an industry leader known for innovation, reliability, and execution.
Julian Mendoza – Director of Tradeshow Operations (Miami, FL)
Julian Mendoza serves as Director of Tradeshows at EXPOCCI, based in the Miami Office.
Julian’s career path has been shaped at EXPOCCI. After joining the military right out of high school and returning from basic training, he began his journey as a warehouse associate. After three years of dedication and hard work, he transitioned to the Design and Display Department and was promoted to Project Manager. Within two years, he further advanced to become an Account Manager. Today, as Director of Tradeshow Operations, Julian drives the development of his team while continuing to support the success of our clients.
Julian studied Criminal Justice, earning his Associate of Arts (AA), and while it’s not directly related to the tradeshow industry, he has learned a great deal through hands-on experience and growth within the field.
In his current role, Julian’s main responsibility is ensuring all shows are handled by qualified team members who understand the importance of executing every project the best way possible.
Julian is passionate about doing his best to support his family and going the extra mile to make sure they are taken care of. He is also proud of his team and enjoys seeing how many successful shows they accomplish together.
Looking ahead, Julian hopes to continue expanding his capabilities while also contributing to the growth of EXPOCCI and its team. He wants his impact to show that anyone can advance through hard work and humility. He describes himself as a hard worker who follows the rules, while also bringing forward ideas and improvements when change is needed.
Brandon Mitchell – Sr. Account Executive (Las Vegas, NV)
Brandon Mitchell joins EXPOCCI as a Sr. Account Executive, based out of the Las Vegas, Nevada office.
Brandon brings strong experience in the exhibit industry, having previously worked in business development for a custom design exhibit house. Prior to that, he spent 13 years as a Sr. Account Executive in the industrial manufacturing, aerospace, and DOD field.
Brandon studied at Boise State University, majoring in Business, and his expertise centers on relationship building, problem solving, and solution-based selling. In his role at EXPOCCI, he will serve as the sales representative and primary point of contact for customers—attending shows, prospecting for new leads, converting those leads into new accounts, and retaining existing business.
He is excited to work on custom design booths overall and would especially love the opportunity to support booths for SuperZoo 2026. Looking ahead, Brandon’s goal is to build a seven-figure book of business, develop his own team in Las Vegas, and help grow EXPOCCI’s sales reputation to become the “go-to” exhibit house in Las Vegas.
Brandon hopes to make a significant impact within his first 18 months by bringing in over $2 million in sales, implementing sales and prospecting strategies, and building a strong Las Vegas-based team that contributes meaningfully to the company’s success.
A fun fact about Brandon: he shares his birthday not only with his twin sister—but also with his mother. He is also a proud father of two boys, a dedicated family man, and a big football fan.
