GPA, the leaders and experts in providing global and industry product intelligence to the Digital, Offset and Flexo communities, announced today the appointment of Jules Gonzales as the new Senior Vice President of Sales, effective August 12, 2024.

Gonzales has over 20 years of experience in the print industry, and for the past 13 years, successfully managed various business development and leadership roles within GPA. In his most recent role, and for the past six years, Gonzales served as the Central Region’s Area Vice President of Sales and Strategic Accounts. Leading with knowledge, passion, and with a strong emphasis on cultivating meaningful partnerships through a customer centric lens, Gonzales brings a fresh, yet familiar perspective that embodies GPA and Fedrigoni’s Brand Beliefs.

“I am thrilled for GPA and our customers to have Jules as our new Senior Vice President of Sales,” says Barry Nelson, President of GPA. “His vision to elevate our brand, advance strategies for innovative solutions, and help support customers and brands grow their business is what will continue to help build GPA’s strong momentum in the marketplace.”

Leading to Gonzales’s new appointment is the departure of Dave Maucieri, former Senior Vice President of Sales for GPA. Maucieri transitions into a new role outside of GPA and the Print Industry, and into a sales leadership role where he’ll bring his talents and passion for building teams and shaping cultural excellence. A 32-year GPA veteran and industry thought leader, he served as a key architect of the GPA culture and passes on his legacy to Gonzales, in what is a most natural transition plan.

“Dave’s passion, dedication, and thoughtful approach to leadership has had an indelible impact on our organization and on this industry,” Nelson says. “We are incredibly thankful for his years of encouragement, support, and leadership to help accelerate and elevate this business and our team. We wish him continued success in his new role!”

The combination of engaging interactions with customers and leadership teams, a focus on innovative solutions, and an active participation in industry discussions, all reinforce GPA’s continued strength and influence in the marketplace.
