Bob Nelson has left his role at the head of RR Donnelley Global Document Solutions (RRD GDS) to join the global giant’s print management push in the United States.Paul Masterton is understood to have taken on day-to-day running of Huntingdon-based RRD GDS, which has been rolled into RR Donnelley’s European operations, which he heads up.
Print management sources claimed that Nelson’s return to the the US last month was “earlier than initially planned”, but said that he had achieved his aims in the role.
One observer said: “Bob has led the transformation from Astron to being part of the RR Donnelley business in Europe. He’s put a team in place to now push the expansion of GDS’s print management model throughout Europe.”
Alastair Watson, the former Williams Lea head of procurement, joined RRD GDS as director of strategic sourcing in March, at the same time as ex-HH Print Management group commercial director Neil Smith was appointed managing director of the group’s Print and Media Services division.
It is understood that Nelson’s role in the US will be to implement the print management and business process outsourcing business in a division called Global Print Management.
His departure comes just over a year and a half after he arrived in the UK to take the reins at the business, which was founded by David Mitchell as Astron. Mitchell sold the business to RR Donnelley in June 2005.
Neither Nelson nor Masterton was available for comment.
