Mark Wilton takes place on CIP4 board of directors

Mark Wilton is the only Australian to gain a place on CIP4’s new board of directors.

Wilton, (pictured) president of Wilton & Partners Consulting, returned to Australia this year to take up the role of business development for DES’ X-Rite business. He has been a member of the CIP4 committee for some time.

This year's board of directors’ elections mark some significant changes in CIP4 leadership. Margaret Motamed of EFI, served two terms as CEO, and with competition for the top slot, was not eligible for a third term. Long-time CIP4 member and active working group chair and Technical Steering Committee member, Henny van Esch, Director of Optimus Group, has now taken over as CIP4's CEO.

"I look forward to, along with the rest of the board, leading CIP4 into the coming years, and bringing my years of experience in working in CIP4 work groups and the Technical Steering Committee to the organization," said van Esch.

"Following in the footsteps of my illustrious predecessors Martin Bailey and Margaret Motamed, my aim will be to take CIP4 into the next phase of development and adoption of JDF, and to help improve the efficiency and profitability in our industry, still challenged by the current economy."

The board’s other CIP4 officers include: education and marketing officer, Tim Daisy, QTMS sales and marketing executive at Prism Group Holdings; financial officer and treasurer, Jay Farr, general manager, EFI and technology officer, Dr. Rainer Prosi, senior workflow architect at Heidelberg.
