We announced just over a year ago the appointment of the Exscite, Steve Zunde as President of PriscoDigital. After an ironical turn of events where Zunde was President of Scitex Vision Americas through the acquisition by HP, PriscoDigital has now signed an exclusive distribution agreement with HP Scitex.
Zunde’s organization will now be the commercial printing distribution arm for HP Scitex, whereby they will sell the full line of industrial inkjet systems to the commercial and industrial printing markets across the USA. The agreement is strategic for both companies as it ties PriscoDigital to the industry technology leader, enabling Prisco’s extensive sales resources and in-depth knowledge of the commercial printing sector to bring leading-edge products to the marketplace for HP Scitex. Prisco has close to 100 sales professionals full time in the field working out of nine locations across North America.
It was also just over a year ago that Steve underwent kidney-donation surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD where he has now initiated the longest living donor kidney chain in the world, having enabled 8 people to receive a kidney transplant to date, as a result of his altruistic donation after his kidney was flown via helicopter from Johns Hopkins Hospital to Wake Forest Medical Center in North Carolina.The full strory was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine and was aired by CBS News several weeks ago.
Steve joined Prisco from Hewlett-Packard Company where he served as President of Scitex Vision Americas until the acquisition by HP, and then filled several business planning and strategic roles within HP’s Imaging & Printing Division. Prior to his role as President of Scitex Vision Americas, Steve held senior management positions within Scitex Corporation Ltd. where he served as the President of Karat Digital Press, a startup and joint-venture between Scitex and KBA, which was then fully acquired by KBA with Steve then serving as the President of KBA’s digital division in North America. Prior to this, he was the President of International Paper Company’s’ global printing chemicals business which was then acquired by Fuji Photo Film of Tokyo.
