The OEM’s American division has appointed Bob Madaio as its new Vice Present of B2B Marketing.
In his new role, Madaio will report directly to President and CEO Mike Marusic, and will be responsible for the organisation’s B2B marketing efforts across networked multifunctional printers, professional displays and its growing smart office and IT solutions business.
An information technology marketing veteran of more than twenty years’ experience, Bob joined Sharp to accelerate the growth of its brand and presence within the information technology industry, expand critical technology alliances, and drive innovative programmes through Sharp’s channel sales network and the Sharp Business Systems direct sales organisation.
“The addition of Bob to our senior management group will help us develop alliances critical in the IT space,” said Marusic. “Bob has a very successful track record as a marketing leader in the IT world and his knowledge and experience will bring a new perspective to our vision of leveraging our technology advantages for the future of the Smart Office.”

Madaio also spent nearly 15 years at EMC, where he held a number of senior solutions marketing roles and market intelligence positions.
“I am quite excited to join Sharp’s executive team at this time,” said Madaio, whose appointment was effective as of Monday. “Sharp is poised to build on its history of innovation by helping its business customers transform digitally with its vision of AIoT, a people-centric view of how data will power the future for businesses and consumers alike.”
