St. Louis, MO (January 2010) – Supplies Network, a leader in print
management, is adding horse-power to its CARBON SiX managed print services (MPS)
program with the hiring of Doug Johnson as senior vice president (SVP). Johnson
is an expert and early innovator in the MPS space after holding executive
positions with RedSage Consulting, Print Inc., and Hewlett-Packard.
“Supplies Network is substantially increasing our investment and commitment
in CARBON SiX by securing top talent and expanding program offerings,” said Greg
Welchans, president of Supplies Network. “Doug has more industry and real-world
MPS experience than anyone. Working with us as a consultant for the past three
years, he has been instrumental in developing our award-winning program to help
independent dealers serve imaging fleets with a variety of equipment types and
brands.”
Prior to being the founder and president of RedSage Consulting, Johnson
served as SVP/COO of Print Inc., and president of its subsidiary, PrintValue
Solutions. Print Inc. was a start-up in 2001 that pioneered MPS, growing to a
$67 million company when it was sold to Pitney Bowes in 2006.
With Hewlett-Packard, Johnson was SVP of world-wide marketing for HP’s
Imaging and Printing Systems Group, and vice president and general manager for
HP’s Imaging Supplies Division. During his 20 years at HP, his team is credited
with the development of innovative and cutting-edge strategies, widely regarded
as firsts in the hardcopy supplies industry.
