U.S. Executive Team Changes

In his new position, James Chan will work closely with Mitsubishi Electric’s Kyoto factory, bringing the latest dye-sub printers to the U.S. market.

“The biggest challenge facing us today is getting the word out about how great our printers are. And making our products part of the buying journey of anyone looking for a dye-sub printer they can count on!” Chan added.

Chan’s tenure at Mitsubishi started in May 1999, as product manager of projectors. He was quickly promoted to senior product manager. Moreover, prior to Mitsubishi, Chan worked as a product manager for Panasonic and Viewsonic, marketing its similar display products.

In addition, Chan majored in database systems management; he holds a BS degree in computer science from De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. He also earned an MBA from California State University, Fullerton, when he later moved to the U.S.

Strategic Development

Ed Najera has more than 25 years of expertise in dye-sublimation photo printing. As the dedicated engineer for these printers, Najera will develop, implement and manage engineering and customer programs. These programs will support Mitsubishi’s philosophy of being product-forward and customer-centric in all channels of sales. In addition, he will work closely with many of Mitsubishi’s large integration and systems customers, helping implement the use of Mitsubishi dye-sub printers.

“We’re committed to supporting and developing our printers and media products, even though we have a low product failure rate of under a third of a percentage consistently year over year. Ed is uniquely positioned to help us continue this trend by working with our factory’s R&D and engineers in Kyoto, Japan,” added Chan.

“As many of our longtime customers will attest, Ed is a valuable asset to our Mitsubishi printer team; whether you’re developing a complex system to integrate our printers with or simply making our printers work with your unique application requirements.”
