Varone and Monteiro promoted to President and VP of Sales at GMG Americas

GMG Americas, the U.S.-based office of Germany-based GMG, a leading developer and supplier of high-end colour management software solutions, has promoted Joe Varone to President and Paulo Monteiro to VP of Sales. “This is in response to successful sales in the Americas and an expanded GMG product portfolio that requires additional direction and attention,” said the parent company. Varone has not only built a successful sales organization that has resulted in significant growth, but has also undertaken general management responsibilities, overseeing the GMG Americas’ organization based in the U.S. In his new position, he will pass along his day-to-day sales activities to Monteiro, and concentrate solely on general management and strategic initiatives, while overseeing all corporate departments.
“GMG Americas has seen growth not only in revenues, but also in the product portfolio we all manage at GMG that’s targeted to a wider swath of graphics, printing and packaging companies,” said Ian Scott, Managing Director, GmbH & Co. KG. “This presents an exceptional opportunity for us, but also requires more, directed attention towards strategic planning. Joe has demonstrated that he’s a very capable senior general and sales management professional, not only at GMG but also in previous career roles. We’re very fortunate that he’s directing our interests in the Americas.”
Paulo Monteiro, previously ‪Business Director in Latin America for GMG Americas, has been an executive at GMG for nearly ten years. He’s been responsible for building and managing distribution channels for GMG colour management solutions throughout Central and South America. In doing so, he has built a strong sales and service group that has taken GMG from virtually no presence at all, to a very effective organization. He will now be responsible for increasing GMG’s coverage not only in Latin America, but in the rest of North America, increasing and fortifying geographical coverage in all regions of the U.S. and Canada. An example is the recent appointment of Bill DeWall in the North Central U.S.
