Khechfe is responsible for directing all aspects of the DYMO Endicia business unit as well as managing its position within the Newell Rubbermaid Technology Global Business Unit. Under his leadership, DYMO Endicia has grown dramatically and broadened its offerings.

Khechfe co-founded DYMO Endicia in 1987 and has held a variety of management roles in engineering, management consulting, software development, marketing, business development and sales engineering.

He earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and a Master of Science in Engineering from Stanford University.

“This app comes in handy in airports and on airplanes to burn some time. It’s also much nicer than the paper version since you can avoid the mess pencil marks make, and it tells you how well you did compared to the thousands of folks that played at the same level — although that’s occasionally embarrassing.”

“A must-have when traveling overseas, I use USA Today to stay in touch with the nation’s news highlights. I download the latest news before I board an airplane, so I can read them in-flight. The USA Today app updates its articles throughout the day, so it is actually more current than the paper version.”
