Printing United Alliance, the member-based printing and graphic arts association in North America, has made leadership updates to support long-term growth and service to the global printing industry.
Chris Lyons will step into the role of Group President where he will oversee sales across Alliance media brands and events. Mr Lyons has been an innovative and dedicated industry executive having run many of the industry’s top media and event brands and has launched numerous others, while having served in key executive roles at Scholastic Children’s Books and Kodak.
“I’m honoured to step into this role and continue working closely with our partners to deliver even more meaningful value across our complete portfolio,” said Mr Lyons, group president. “There is tremendous momentum across the Alliance, and I’m excited to help build on our past success while delivering on many of the new and exciting initiatives we are bringing to market.”
Another change sees Denise Gustavson being appointed as vice president of editorial and content strategy in recognition of her ongoing and expanding role in editorial content and strategy across Alliance media outlets and brands.
Meanwhile, Josh Carruth will take on expanded leadership responsibilities including oversight of Printing United Expo operations as EVP expositions, in addition to membership.
“These leadership advancements reflect the strength of our team and our commitment to promoting from within,” said Ford Bowers, CEO, Printing United Alliance. “We are confident in the experience, vision, and continuity Chris, Josh, and Denise bring, in addition to our more than 100 other professionals on staff, as we continue to serve our members and the industry at the highest level.”
