Goss International promotes Jacques Navarre to head worldwide sales, marketing and product management functions
Monday 01. February 2010 - Goss International has promoted Jacques Navarre to the position of senior vice president of sales, marketing and product management. Navarre, who has more than 30 years of experience in the printing industry, most recently headed the Goss International sales organization in Europe. Dick Schultz will continue to serve as senior vice president of global sales for the company.
“Technical expertise, international experience and passion make Jacques an ideal leader for our integrated sales and marketing teams worldwide,” according to Jochen Meissner, Goss International CEO. “He has worked collaboratively with printers and publishers for three decades and developed tremendous insight into how our organization can deliver the technology, value and support they need.”
Navarre began his professional career in the paper and board industry before joining Harris Marinoni in 1978. He has since held positions across a broad range of departments, including sales, service and product marketing.
“I feel invigorated by this opportunity to work with our customers and with the Goss International team in an expanded capacity,” Navarre explains. “Our technology portfolio and global organizational structure can provide unique advantages, and I look forward to helping printers and publishers use them to create the high-value print production platforms of the future.”
Jean Segura has succeeded Navarre as vice president of sales for Goss International in Europe. He has held positions in sales, administration and marketing in Montataire (France), Dover, NH (USA) and Sao Paulo (Brazil). He was most recently director of sales for commercial and newspaper presses for Southern Europe and the Nordic countries.
