Konica Minolta Announces Leadership Changes

Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. announced management changes to support its transformation strategy and extend its global reach in services and technology. 

The changes are designed to accelerate the company’s digital transformation, leverage its investment in All Covered and enable enhanced custom workflow solutions to better meet customer and market demands.

“I have been inspired by the agility and resilience I have seen throughout the company as we continue to transform our business and extend our global reach. Our office technology and industrial and production printing product areas are key strengths for our organization, and our strategy is solid,” said Rick Taylor, president and CEO, Konica Minolta. “These management changes are intended to strengthen our position in the marketplace and provide our dealer and direct sales organizations with a cohesive leadership structure to better serve customers.”

Sam Errigo will lead the digital transformation strategy within his existing role as executive VP, sales and Business Development. 

Kevin Kern will take on a new position as senior VP, Digital Transformation and Emerging Technologies. 

Additionally, a realignment of business development resources within Konica Minolta’s graphic communications and industrial print (GCIP) area will strengthen its expansion and presence within the industrial and production print space and support its strategy for exponential growth.

Bill Troxil, senior VP, Industrial and Inkjet Printing, will expand his team to encompass industrial print, embellishment and labeling products, production print support and will maintain responsibility for the AccurioJet KM-1 and KM-1e Inkjet Presses. 

In his new role, Troxil will oversee all aspects of Konica Minolta’s global partnership with MGI Digital Technology. 

The alliance established in 2014 allows Konica Minolta to provide embellishment solutions to the packaging and label print sector, including hot foil stamping and embossing equipment in response to the digitalization needs in the professional printing market.

Dino Pagliarello has been promoted to senior VP, Product Management and Planning. In this capacity, he will continue to work on building out an industry-leading product roadmap for printers, office and industrial and production print.
