Chiricosta joins ICE USA as director sales and marketing
Converting Industry veteran and marketing director Bob Chiricosta has joined Mack Brooks Exhibitions as director sales and marketing of ICE USA.
Michael Boyle, ICE USA show director, explains: “Having been an exhibitor at numerous paper, plastics and converting trade shows all over the world Bob is very familiar with the business exhibition model. He has planned and organised exhibits for numerous shows on all continents for his previous employers during the past decade, including some other Mack Brooks events.”
“With a keen exhibition brain and love of trade shows, he decided to change sides and become part of the sales, marketing and organising team of ICE USA. Together we have a clear goal of establishing ICE USA as the leading marketplace for converting decision-makers in North America within four years and I am convinced he is the ideal man for the job.”
“He understands and appreciates the importance of having well organised, professionally run exhibitions and will assist me with his wealth of marketing expertise and industry knowledge,” adds Mr Boyle.
Mr Chiricosta is a graduate of chemistry and plastics engineering and has had 35 years experience in the paper and nonwovens sectors. More recently he worked for a leading international supplier of machine vision systems for the metals, paper, plastics, nonwovens and converting industries. He will work out of the new Mack Brooks office near Boston in Burlington, Massachusetts.
