Fremont, CA, <\/em>December 21, 2015<\/em> \u2013 Electronics For Imaging<\/a>, Inc. (Nasdaq:EFII) today announced it has hired Sheri Rhodes as its Chief Information Officer. Rhodes brings an extensive range of talents to the role, building on her career experience leading complex, transformational enterprise initiatives for financial, security software and information management companies throughout Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n

Rhodes, who started at EFI\u2122 in early December, is part of the company\u2019s senior leadership team, reporting to EFI Senior Vice President Toby Weiss. As CIO, she plays a critical IT development role in EFI\u2019s ability to create and provide customers with best-in-class printing technologies, including cloud services hosted in EFI\u2019s secure data center facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cSheri has a wealth of experience building successful, mission-critical technology infrastructure operations, including managing complex global IT procurement contracts and guiding organizations through the logistical and technical challenges that arise from M&A integrations,\u201d said Weiss. \u201cWhile we had many great candidates for this position, she was the clear choice to help achieve the successful integration of acquired companies while also ensuring that our IT infrastructure scales up to accommodate EFI\u2019s continued organic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rhodes joined EFI from Symantec, where as vice president of Global Applications, she most recently managed the complex process of separating IT applications ahead of Symantec\u2019s upcoming divestiture of Veritas. Over the course of six years at Symantec, she has also helped the company optimize its IT operations, rationalizing multiple redundant applications while implementing strategic improvements with CRM, ERP, marketing automation and cloud-based HR systems.<\/p>\n

Prior to Symantec, Rhodes spent a decade in IT corporate systems, applications and project leadership roles with Visa, Providian and Washington Mutual, a business that acquired Providian in 2005. Her work in that time included managing complex enterprise technology strategies, including direct responsibility for CRM, ERP and HR systems. She also has worked at KPMG as a consultant and in a variety of roles at Wells Fargo.<\/p>\n

Rhodes, who has BS and MBA degrees from San Diego State University, is based in EFI\u2019s worldwide headquarters in Silicon Valley and manages Information Systems and Technology staff located at EFI facilities worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cEFI has some exciting opportunities ahead of it to continue driving the industry\u2019s transformation from analog to digital print,\u201d said Rhodes. \u201cI am excited to help EFI continue improving its IT framework, as that remains a key advantage in how we successfully deliver the products and services that fuel our customers\u2019 success.\u201d<\/p>\n
