Mr. Fowler, a 25-year employee, most recently served as Quad/Graphics' Vice President of Finance & Chief Financial Officer, and is credited with helping develop, implement and finance the strategies that have catalyzed the company's profitable growth. In his newly expanded role, Mr. Fowler will build on his existing record of success overseeing Accounting, Treasury, Tax, Risk Management, Shareholder Relations, Mergers and Acquisitions, and Planning. Furthermore, he will assume executive-level responsibility for the company's Corporate Purchasing function. "As we continue to pursue increased market share and profitable growth, John will be at the forefront of that effort," Mr. Quadracci said.
