Dear all,
To ensure that Colart North America is structured to manage the ongoing changes in the market dynamics, it is clearer than ever that we need to secure tight alignment between Colart supply chain and that of our biggest customers. The swings in purchase patterns that we have seen from major customers has had a negative effect in 2022 on both Colart North America, as well as at the global level. The disruption that we have seen has surpassed the level of volatility that we have experienced in the past, or that we might expect from major product launches or customer resets.
Therefore, in support of the tighter integration that we are seeking between our supply chain and that of our customers, John Taras, Senior Supply Chain Manager – North America will report directly to Steve Chamberlain with immediate effect. All other reporting lines remain unchanged.
In addition, this change will enable Mark Triano CFO – North America and the North American Finance Team to drive even stronger governance and financial analysis of the business which will be critical as we continue to face challenging times ahead.
Please reach out with any questions.
Please join us in wishing all involved every success in their new roles and responsibilities.
Kind regards,
Steve Chamberlain Mark Triano
V.P. & General Manager CFO – North America
