Gaines Campbell
CEO & Managing Owner
Gaines Campbell is one of four owners of IEC and has served as the executive officer on site as the Managing Owner since August 2015. Gaines was born and raised in Chattanooga. He graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1977 with majors in business and psychology, but he went outside his academic training to begin his work career as a computer programmer with Sears in Louisville, Ky. After three years he returned to Chattanooga to join the family business – Arcade, Inc. The business flourished under several of his father’s inventions and he and his father decided to sell the business in the late 80s. Gaines went into business on his own by purchasing an audio/video company he renamed Sterling Duplication Services. He managed that company through the transition of duplicating audio and video cassettes into the digital age of CDs and DVDs. In the early 2000s he sold that business and started a new business with a friend as 50/50 partners. This new business, Structured Solutions, LLC, brought him back to his love of computers by specializing in providing small businesses the expertise in utilizing new technology. Gaines sold his share to his partner in 2015 and then bought his current ownership share in IEC.
As a long-time member of St. Thaddaeus Episcopal Church, Gaines has served in various leadership roles in the church and at the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee. He is a mentor and trainer in the University of Sewanee School of Theology’s program of Education for Ministry. He has served in leadership roles on several non-profit boards and is currently on the Executive Committee of the Chattanooga Community Kitchen. Gaines and his wife Amy celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017. They have two daughters and three granddaughters. His hobbies (besides tumbling with the grandchildren) are golfing and fishing, especially in Minnesota and Canada.
