Southern California's leading copier and printer rental company enters its next chapter with a strengthened leadership team and a continued commitment to the clients it has served for more than four decades.
Marathon Services, Southern California's leading copier, printer, and multi-function product rental company, today announced two key leadership appointments that position the 45-year-old company for continued growth and operational excellence. Mardu Lydick has been named Chief Executive Officer, and Jason Mayo has been promoted to Vice President, Operations & Business Development.
The appointments follow the passing of Ron Lydick, Marathon's founder and president, in February. Under Ron's stewardship, Marathon Services became one of Southern California's most trusted service providers across corporate, legal, entertainment production, trade show, and government clients, known throughout the region for its guaranteed three-hour service response and its decades-long relationships with the businesses that depend on it every day.
As Chief Executive Officer, Mardu Lydick directs overall company strategy, brand positioning, and client engagement. She leads sales growth for Marathon's high-volume production copiers through rental, leasing, and service contracts, and oversees marketing, communications, and industry outreach across the sectors the company serves. Her leadership is centered on preserving and advancing Marathon's legacy of reliability, responsiveness, and personalized customer care.
Jason Mayo, who joined Marathon Services 29 years ago and has spent his career helping build the operation he now leads, takes on day-to-day leadership as Vice President of Operations & Business Development. He oversees the field teams and technical support organization responsible for Konica Minolta and HP production equipment across the greater Los Angeles area, making Marathon's three-hour service window a reality for the clients who rely on it. Mayo also leads Marathon's business development efforts, deepening the long-standing client relationships that define the company and identifying new opportunities to grow across its diverse client base. He carries forward the inventory management, technical standards, and quality disciplines that have long set Marathon apart.
"Ron built Marathon Services on a promise that when our clients call, we answer, and we show up. That promise is the foundation of everything we do, and it isn't changing," said Mardu Lydick. "What is changing is the scope of what we're building on top of it. Jason Mayo is a big part of why I have so much confidence in the road ahead. He has the respect of our technicians, the trust of our clients, and the instincts of someone who understands both the operational and the commercial sides of this business. His promotion is not only recognition of what he has already done for Marathon, but it is an investment in what we are going to do together."
Marathon Services continues to serve its clients from its Chatsworth headquarters, focused on what has always set the company apart: top-tier equipment, deep client relationships, and a team that shows up when it matters most.
