Doug Albregts, Marco<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Marco, a leading technology services provider in the United States, announced today that former Sharp Electronics America CEO Doug Albregts has been named president of Marco. Albregts joins the executive team, led by CEO Jeff Gau, to help shape and execute the company\u2019s continued growth and industry leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoug augments our leadership team with his extensive background in national and international expansion of both privately-held and publicly traded companies,\u201d Gau said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albregts most recently served as the Group CEO at Scientific Games, responsible for $2 billion in revenue and over 4,000 employees worldwide. Prior to Scientific Games, Albregts served as the president, CEO and chairman of Sharp Electronics America, where he was responsible for the overall leadership of the consumer products, home appliances, robotics, display devices, energy storage and business\/office divisions. Prior to Sharp, Albregts held executive management roles at American Express, NEC, Samsung, Canvys, a division of Richardson Electronics and Golden Books Publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve known Doug for many years and he is an excellent fit for our organization,\u201d Gau said. \u201cHe not only has the expertise we need, but he also has a character and set of values that match our culture. We have a track record of working together, and we look forward to collaborating to expand Marco\u2019s market presence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albregts has served on the United Nations Business Council as one of its technology representatives and has received a series of awards for his leadership in the industry, including Difference Maker by ENX Magazine<\/em> and Executive of the Year at The Cannata Report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m just excited to get back into an industry that treated me exceptionally well,” Albregts told ENX Magazine<\/em>. \u201cI was fortunate over the past seven years to do some great things with the team at Sharp. For many of those years, I developed a great relationship with several of our dealer partners. I think I underestimated how important those relationships were in my work life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albregts added that he has always been a great admirer of Gau and what the team at Marco has been able to accomplish. \u201cMore so than their accomplishments, they\u2019re genuinely good people that care for employees and customers,\u201d he added. \u201cWhen the opportunity arose for me to work for such a remarkable company, I couldn\u2019t turn that down. The company has tremendous growth potential and has become a powerhouse in managed services, both around print and IT. That\u2019s a winning combination. That diversity and knowledge base has Marco positioned to broaden its market opportunity quite rapidly. That opportunity excites me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOEMs are under a lot of pressure as the market continues to consolidate,\u201d Albregts added. \u201cBeing on this side of the house will certainly have its benefits moving forward. Of course, my experience on the OEM side will certainly give Marco a unique advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
