Rob Mesaros has been named as the new South Pacific managing director of HP’s revamped personal systems and printing businesses unit, HP Inc.
The announcement follows news that HP plans to separate into two new publicly traded Fortune 50 companies later this year. HP Enterprise will comprise its enterprise technology infrastructure, software and services businesses, while HP Inc. will incorporate HP’s personal systems and printing businesses.
A spokesperson said that while the company has begun the operational transition toward separating into two companies, HP will continue to operate as one company until November 1, 2015.
Mesaros is the current vice-president and general manager of the company's Printing and Personal Systems (PPS) group.
"Rob Mesaros is and remains the current vice-president and general manager for the Printing and Personal Systems Group, HP South-Pacific, until after HP separates into two new companies, where Rob would be the future South-Pacific managing director for HP Inc.,” said the spokesperson.
Mesaros started at HP in 2006 as its South Pacific category and marketing manager focused on imaging and printing consumer technology. He became HP Asia-Pacific and Japan consumer segment director in 2008, then HP’s Hong Kong and Macau GM from 2010 to 2012 before taking up the position as vice-president and GM of the company's PPS group.
