3D Systems Announces Executive Leadership Changes
January 10 2024 - 9:00AM
3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) today announced changes in the company’s
leadership structure.
Reji Puthenveetil, who currently serves as EVP,
Industrial Solutions, will take on expanded responsibilities
as EVP, Additive Solutions and Chief Commercial
Officer. In this role, Reji will have responsibility
for all of the company’s commercial operations, ranging from
Sales and Marketing to 3D Systems’ unique Application Innovation
Group, across both the Industrial and Healthcare business units.
With this consolidation of commercial responsibilities, Menno
Ellis, who has served as the leader of the company’s Healthcare
business from its creation in 2020, will be leaving the company to
pursue other leadership opportunities. Importantly, the company
will continue to operate two business units, Healthcare
Solutions, comprising both Medical Devices and Dental
markets, and Industrial Solutions, which spans
numerous industrial market verticals, from aerospace and defense to
semiconductor, automotive, energy, and consumer markets.
In addition, after a productive 17-year career with the
company, Andy Johnson, Chief Corporate
Development Officer and Chief Legal Counsel, will be leaving 3D
Systems to pursue new leadership opportunities. Andy will
remain in his role while a search is undertaken for a new General
Counsel.
Commenting on the executive leadership changes, Dr. Jeffrey
Graves, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are
grateful to both Menno and Andy for their many contributions to the
company. Since my arrival in the summer of 2020, both leaders have
been instrumental in helping focus and reshape the company, as we
transformed into the two distinct business units we have today. I
am confident that both executives will continue to find great
success in their future leadership endeavors.”
Dr. Graves continued, “This simplification of our commercial
operations will support optimization of our go-to-market
strategies, reduce operating costs, and enhance our ability to
respond quickly to changes in the market as momentum continues to
build in the adoption of 3D printing in production facilities
around the world. Importantly, by continuing to operate in two
business units, we will retain a strong focus on the unique needs
of both our Healthcare and Industrial customers, an approach that
has been very well received in the market.”
