Kodak Has a New Chairman of the Board

Eastman Kodak has its first new board chairman since 2005. The Rochester-based printing and imaging company said Tuesday that James V. Continenza had been elected chairman, effective immediately. Antonio M. Perez has been chairman since 2005, when he also was promoted from company president and COO to CEO, replacing retiring Daniel Carp.

In a statement, Continenza said Kodak "is a company poised for growth. I look forward to providing leadership as the company realizes its potential as a technology company focused on the packaging, graphic communications, and functional printing markets."
