Tony Wiley (shown) is the new President of Esko North America, succeeding Mark Quinlan, who has left the company to pursue other opportunities. The appointment was effective from January 1st, 2014.

Wiley will oversee all U.S. and Canada sales and support, reporting to Christian Korte, Esko CCO. Korte commented:

“With his proven success in both service and sales, Tony has an extensive knowledge of Esko products and our customers’ needs. He has extended the US Central region to a strong performing area for Esko in North America. Through Tony’s excellent relationships with our customers and channel partners, we are convinced he will be able to capture market needs to manage our organization in North America to maintain continued growth. I expect Tony to be very successful in his new role, while thanking Mark for his hard work and commitment over the past five years. He has laid a strong foundation for Esko in the Americas.”

Wiley added:

“Mark Quinlan did an exceptional job forming our organization as a responsive group for our customer base. It’s an exciting time for Esko North America. Esko products and services, particularly for packaging and digital finishing, continue to offer groundbreaking technologies that have very profound benefits for our customers. I hope to continue our efforts demonstrating how Esko can play a significant role in our customers’ successes.”

Wiley joined Esko in 1999, assuming roles of increasing responsibility over the past fifteen years. He successfully led the North American Customer Service organization for ten years and had been, most recently, Vice President, US Central Region Sales, for the past five years.

Replacing Wiley as Vice President, US Central Region Sales, is Steve Bennett, who most recently held the role of Vice President, Digital Finishing Business, and had been Vice President, New Business Development.

Esko is also creating an autonomous group, led by Ernande Ramos, to support efforts in Latin America.
