Anderson spent eight years with Creo and Scitex in and was most recently European marketing manager, Networked Graphic Production. He was acknowledged as a world expert in JDF and took part in PrintWeek's special roundtable on the topic. 

We will miss him, but in a way it's a positive, as working with MIS vendors is a big part of our JDF/NGP strategy," said Creo marketing and dealer manager Maria Machera. 

Anderson takes up his job as president of Hiflex America on 1 September. The German MIS supplier is expanding operations worldwide and is looking to set up an office in the UK. 

"More than 50% of the firm is working on development and I think they are one of the most innovative businesses in JDF," he said.
