ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Eastman Kodak Company has named Gustavo Oviedo as General Manager, Worldwide Sales and Customer Operations. In that role he oversees worldwide sales and customer support for the company’s Consumer Digital Imaging and Graphic Communications Groups. Oviedo is a Kodak vice president.
Oviedo previously was Managing Director for Kodak’s Asia Pacific Region and Managing Director for the Graphic Communications Group for that region. He held the latter role since 2006, when Kodak acquired Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG).
“We have consolidated our sales and customer operations for Kodak’s digital businesses into one organization that presents a single face to the customer, maximizing our value proposition to customers,” said Philip J. Faraci, Kodak President and Chief Operating Officer. “Gustavo’s international career spans more than 25 years working in South America, Asia, Europe and North America, and he brings fluency in several languages to his interactions with our customers.”
Before joining Kodak, Oviedo, who will report to Faraci, worked for Schneider Electric in increasingly responsible positions managing logistics, sales and marketing, business development, and mergers and acquisitions. He holds a business degree from the University of Salvador in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
“I am looking forward to meeting our customers worldwide, as well as the opportunity to introduce others to the broad range of solutions offered by Kodak for consumer and commercial applications,” said Oviedo.
