Gene Biben Joins Channel Marketing Group

Gene Biben, the longtime leader of Joseph E. Biben Sales Corp and Biben Marketing Group, a manufacturer representative agency serving the MidAtlantic Region, has joined Channel Marketing Group.

Biben recently retired from the agency. A succession plan was put in place two years ago with Biben’s son-in-law, Bill Solomon, CPMR, taking over the agency.

Gene has been active in the industry having sat on many manufacturer rep advisory councils. He was also active in NEMRA, having served as President, with NAED councils and was a member of various national distributor rep advisory councils.

When asked what he wanted to accomplish in his new role, Gene shared “I am excited to share my experiences and hopefully give back to an industry in change and that has allowed me to raise 5 daughters while making many of my best friends. Hopefully, the experiences might help others in these most critical times.”

Gene brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. Having grown, and managed, a successful agency, he hopes to be of service to other small to mid-sized agencies who could benefit from a seasoned advisor who can help them navigate change, and growth. Further, he has excelled in helping small to mid-sized manufacturers network to quality agencies. He will also be an invaluable resource in support of Channel Marketing Group’s research needs.
