Digital Publishing Leader Aptara Appoints Former RR Donnelley Executive Bill Penders as President
Falls Church, VA (PRWEB) December 23, 2013 -- Digital publishing pioneer Aptara announces the appointment of Bill Penders as its new President, effective January 1, 2014. Aptara’s current President & CEO, Dev Ganesan, will become the Chair of Aptara’s Customer Advisory Board.
Bill was the President and Chief Operating Officer of Bowne & Co., an $850M global financial publishing business acquired by RR Donnelley (RRD) in 2011. Post-acquisition, Bill was RRD’s Senior Vice President of International Sales and Operations where he led the successful integration of the Bowne organization into RRD’s operations and strategic initiatives to expand their International services portfolio.
“Bowne/RRD has been a customer of Aptara’s for many years, which makes Bill’s arrival even more exciting,” said Anil Aggarwal, CEO of iEnergizer, Aptara’s parent company. “Bill is a seasoned operations executive with an impressive track record of transformational leadership. His success at Bowne & Co., where he was employed for over 20 years, combined with his Sales background makes him ideally suited to lead the next phase of Aptara’s growth. I want to thank Dev for his impressive six year tenure. In a short time, he nearly doubled the company’s size, more than tripled earnings (even during a recession), and transformed Aptara into a digital revolution thought leader – giving us a strong foundation to aggressively build upon.”
“I am extremely proud of what the Aptara team has accomplished in the last six years,” said Dev Ganesan, President of Aptara. “We have led the digital content industry in innovation and delivering new value to a broad base of publishing and corporate clientele. I look forward to continuing to interact with our customers in my capacity as Chairman of the Customer Advisory Board.”
