Ricoh Restructures, Hires Mike Loyd

To flatten its organizational structure and eliminate redundancies, Ricoh Americas Corp. has restructured. Gone is the position of Chief Operating Officer of the Ricoh U.S. division, and with it president and COO Thomas Salierno. Nori Goto, Chief Executive Officer of Ricoh U.S., will now add the title of president, Ricoh U.S.

At the same time, Martin Brodigan, president of Ricoh Canada, has become Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Ricoh U.S. Also, the Direct Marketing and Indirect Marketing groups of Ricoh U.S. will consolidate into one group headed by Senior Vice President Hugh Urabe.

A key addition to the Ricoh team is Mike Loyd, a familiar name to in-plant managers. Recently retired from his role as director of Graphic Services at Louisiana State University, Loyd was named Public Sector Program Manager for Ricoh’s Production Printing Business Group (PPBG). He will be responsible for creating and operating programs designed for Ricoh PPBG’s public sector customers, which include schools, government agencies and other publicly operated institutions.
