Jeff Jacobson, EFI’s new CEO<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Electronics For Imaging (EFI) this week announced the appointment of Jeff Jacobson, a 30-year veteran of the digital imaging and industrial technology sector, as CEO, effective immediately. Jacobson will retain his position as Executive Chairman. Jacobson succeeds Bill Muir, who is stepping down for personal reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to joining EFI, Jacobson served as CEO of Xerox. Jacobson also served as both president of Xerox’s Technology Business and president of Xerox’s Global Graphic Communications Operations. Prior to joining Xerox in 2012, he was the chairman, president and CEO of Presstek, a leading manufacturer of digital offset printing solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am thrilled to be expanding my role on EFI\u2019s leadership team to identify unique opportunities for innovation across the company,\u201d Jacobson said. \u201cEFI\u2019s portfolio of best-in-class solutions presents an exciting opportunity to drive further growth in high-quality inkjet and integrated, digital workflows. Together with my experienced and talented colleagues on the EFI team, we will provide the leadership needed to help EFI accelerate the transformation of industries where colorful images matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also want to join the EFI team in thanking Bill for his contributions to the company\u2019s success and wishing him the best in his future endeavors. Bill played a pivotal role in successfully positioning EFI for the next chapter of our evolution, always doing so with integrity and the best interests of customers and employees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout his career, Jacobson has displayed an on-going commitment to helping customers improve their productivity and enhance their operations. As CEO of Xerox, he oversaw Xerox\u2019s largest product launch in its more than 100-year-history and led the company through a strategic transformation, delivering best-in-class customer service and driving innovation, while improving Xerox\u2019s operating margins and cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before his time at Xerox and Presstek, Jacobson served as chief operating officer of Eastman Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group, where he was responsible for managing operations in Eastman Kodak’s Global Graphics operations, which included manufacturing locations throughout North America, Europe, Japan, China, Israel and South Africa. Jacobson also served for five years as CEO of Kodak Polychrome Graphics, a highly successful joint venture between Sun Chemical and Eastman Kodak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
