MacDermid Enthone Welcomes Four Industry Experts
May 9, 2017 | MacDermid Enthone Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
MacDermid Enthone Electronics Solutions, a MacDermid Performance Solutions business, has appointed four PCB experts to their North America Sales and Service team.
Jeff Miller and Chona Okayama will be joining the eastern region commercial team. Jeff will take over as account manager with sales responsibilities for that territory. Chona will be responsible for technical service in and around the Chicago area, working closely with Jeff and Eric Mueller, the senior technical service representative for the Eastern region.
Jeff started his career in the PCB industry in field service with DEA Equipment, a division of Olin Hunt Chemical, before eventually joining Toryon Technologies. Due to Toryon’s partnership in the 1990s with MacDermid Enthone’s recently acquired Electrochemicals division, Jeff installed the first Shadow direct metallization process in the Chicagoland area. This and related experiences will allow Jeff to strategically manage MacDermid Enthone’s electronics products portfolios in his new position.
Chona is a degreed chemist and has a strong technical background in the electronics industry. She has worked at several Chicago area facilities including Advanced Circuits and Circuitronics, Toryon, and most recently Florida Cirtech.
Geoff Leeds and Doug Gotelli have joined the West Coast Sales and Service group. Geoff, Bay Area technical service engineer, joins us from Google with additional experience gained while working as a Process Engineer after college at Streamline Circuits. Geoff graduated from Chico State with a B.S. in mechanical engineering.
Doug, an account manager, joins us as a 20-year veteran in the electronics industry. Doug has held positions at some of the largest PCB manufacturers in the country, primarily in sales management roles. Prior to accepting the position at MacDermid Enthone, Doug was the regional sales manager for Minco Products Inc., which designs and manufactures critical components.
Steve Kenney, vice president Americas for MacDermid Enthone, said, “The strong technical capabilities, solid knowledge of the industries we serve, and passion for customer satisfaction of these four new additions are certain to deliver immediate value throughout North America and have a positive impact for both MacDermid Enthone and our valued customers.”
