John Melillo, President
John Melillo began the company and guided it on its present
course of building and managing digital signage and advanced
TV systems for marketing and corporate communications. Beginning with building the satellite network
portion side of the business, he launched DMG’s foray into signage
at the 2002 retail show “Global Shop” with a small New York
City software developer and national retail fixture manufacturer.
The software package became the core system
behind a DMG custom content management software product “Hermes” being
used today by several clients. Under his leadership DMG
has nurtured industry and client partnerships which have generated
base revenue that is sustaining DMG’s current growth. The
single portal concept behind our business model along with
initiatives in IPTV, Cellular transmission, and the “network
neighborhood” have all been nurtured during his tenure.
John has more than thirty years experience
in corporate communications and electronic network management. He
was the leading architect for several corporate network designs
before joining Diversified Systems in 2001. These award winning
networks provided employee communications, marketing support
and distance learning from state of the art studios to customized
downlink facilities.
He has been involved at the senior communications
management level on the strategic planning of internal communications
plans as well as external branding and marketing. John has
also won creative awards in the electronic and print communication
fields. He has produced and directed hundreds of hours
of live multi-camera productions for corporate and broadcast
applications, and also directed numerous film style productions
for training and marketing.
Brian Lees, Vice President
and General Manager
Brian Lees has been instrumental in managing the company’s internal and
external IT infrastructure and leading operations from coast to coast. Brian

His leadership ability has been the driving
force behind the strong field construction and maintenance
operation. DMG has become known for its field excellence

is also responsible for the build out of our strong IT structure.
Under his guidance we were able to launch our
cellular product and our commercial free MSNBC channel giving
DMG true differentiation in the marketplace. He has also
become an integral part of the sales initiatives as they move
to closure, and has established a small but profitable income
in box sales for the company. He has more than ten years
of management experience in the operations of large-scale organizations. He
