Eastman Kodak Company announced today that its Board of Directors has elected Douglas Edwards as a Senior Vice President of the company, effective immediately.
Edwards, 51, is President of the Digital Printing & Enterprise Group, a position to which he was named when Kodak realigned its management last month. His responsibilities include Packaging, Functional Printing, Electrophotographic Solutions, Inkjet Printing Solutions, Kodak Service Business, Consumer Inkjet Systems and Design 2 Launch. He reports to Kodak Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Antonio M. Perez.
“Doug’s election to this post is recognition of his leadership skills,” said Perez. “Moreover, it is an indication of the confidence we have in him to lead one of the two major businesses around which we will build the future of Kodak.”
Prior to being named to his current post, Edwards was General Manager of the Pre-Press Solutions business. Edwards joined Kodak in 2005 when the company acquired full control of a former joint venture with Sun Chemical. Edwards managed R&D for the joint venture. Earlier in his career, he held senior positions in marketing, manufacturing and research for Zeneca Specialties and ICI Colors & Fine Chemicals. He started his career as a research chemist with the Ilford Ltd. unit of Ciba-Geigy.
