Melbourne – Eastman Kodak Company recently announced the appointment of Ingrid Goodyear as general manager of its motion picture business in the company’s Asia Pacific Region (APR) and vice president of Entertainment Imaging.
Goodyear will be responsible for the full oversight of the region’s business within 15 key countries, including Australia, Japan, Korea, India and China.
She will transition from her previous role as General Manager of the division’s Image Capture business, where she oversaw the design and marketing of Kodak’s full line of motion picture camera negative products.
In her new position, Goodyear will retain her responsibilities for Worldwide Marketing.
“Given her broad experiences in operations, finance, sales and marketing, Ingrid brings a real depth to this role,” said Kim Snyder, president of Entertainment Imaging and vice president of Eastman Kodak Company. “I am very pleased to have such a proven, successful leader appointed to this key position.”
Goodyear will assume this responsibility on December 14, 2009, upon the retirement of her predecessor Greg McKibbin who joined Kodak 45 years ago. McKibbin has dedicated his distinguished Kodak career to sales and general management roles around the world in both the motion picture and graphics businesses.
“I am really thrilled to be stepping into this role, and to be given the opportunity to lead such an important component of Kodak’s business. I look forward to leading this team into the future as we work to reinforce Kodak’s strong position in the motion picture industry in this diverse region and help filmmakers understand why they should not compromise and continue to shoot film,” Goodyear said.
