Imagine Technology Group Names New President of Central California Operation
CHICAGO — Imagine Technology Group (ITG), an office
technology dealer acquisition company, named John Schweizer as president of
Lucas Business Systems, its central California operation.
Schweizer, who has more than 15 years of experience in both
hardware and software marketing, will use his multi-faceted background to
spearhead an aggressive growth strategy that ultimately has Lucas Business
Systems positioned as the central valley’s premier business solutions provider.
“This area is experiencing rapid business growth and
vendors that can provide fresh ideas and a complete office technology solution
will lead the marketplace,” said Schweizer. He oversaw IKON operations in
Dallas and the Silicon Valley, and most recently was the vice president of
worldwide sales for Austin, Texas-based Tonic Software. “Lucas Business
Systems has consistently been one of the industry’s leading hardware and
after-sale service providers. When you combine that with my strong solutions
background, it’s a win/win for our customers or prospects.”
John Leinweber, ITG’s CEO and president, feels
Schweizer’s diverse sales and management experience will translate into a
lengthy career at the holding company.
“John brings extensive experience in overseeing all
aspects of accounting, operations and providing outstanding customer sales and
service,” said Leinweber. “His strong blend of cross-functional
knowledge and sales expertise will provide Lucas Business Systems with the
industry experience necessary to ensure extraordinary success. We are delighted
to have John join our company and look forward to many years of success with
him.”
ITG’s overall goal is to acquire and merge
document-imaging dealers that have built a reputation on quality, possess a
growing customer base and have strong vendor relationships, then encourage and
facilitate growth.
