Details about Croteau's expanded role surfaced in a broader Konica Minolta Business announcement that disclosed multiple executive updates at the company.

Konica Minolta: GCIP Business Realignment

Additionally, a "realignment of business development resources within Konica Minolta’s graphic communications and industrial print (GCIP) area will strengthen its expansion and presence within the industrial and production print space and support its strategy for exponential growth," the company said.

In a prepared statement about the updates, Konica Minolta President and CEO Rick Taylor:

“I have been inspired by the agility and resilience I have seen throughout the company as we continue to transform our business and extend our global reach. Our office technology and industrial and production printing product areas are key strengths for our organization, and our strategy is solid. These management changes are intended to strengthen our position in the marketplace and provide our dealer and direct sales organizations with a cohesive leadership structure to better serve customers.”

Konica Minolta did not disclose whether the GCIP realignment involved staffing changes. One unconfirmed report suggests there have been some cuts in the sales organization. ChannelE2E has reached out to Konica Minolta for comment on that report.
