WPPI 2014 was an exciting time for Queensberry, not least because it was there that Sonya and I first met Gregory Georges.

Greg is an award-winning master photographer, and the bestselling author of ten books on digital photography and image editing. He's featured in The New York Times Magazine, Sports Illustrated and many other magazines. Greg spent several years in software marketing and sales, including five years in England. He has a B.S. degree in business, double majoring in marketing and management.

For the last few years he's been in partnership with Jonathon Penney, master print maker and creative image editor.

None of the above fully captures Greg's strategic understanding of professional photography. Or his range of industry contacts. Or the fact that he's an all-round great guy! Which I can say with certainty after spending a week enjoying his hospitality in North Carolina...

The more Greg and I talked the more I realised how much we share the same outlook on professional photography. And the idea of Greg as Queensberry's official representative in North America began to take shape.

So, after months of planning we're delighted to introduce Greg as CEO of Queensberry US Marketing LLC.

Greg's commitment and enthusiasm for the art and craft of professional photography is extraordinary. I know he'll give 100% to helping our customers build stronger businesses. His contacts, insights and expertise make him a fantastic sounding board between you and Queensberry. That will help us refine and grow the products and services we offer photographers everywhere.

Greg will help to develop Queensberry in new sectors such as portraiture and boudoir, as well as Workspace, our image hosting, editing and design service.

If you're already doing business with us you'll see no change to our support services, or the way orders are placed and fulfilled.

This move is a sign of the importance we place on North America, which is already our largest regional market. We are hugely excited to be moving into this new era.

Greg's email is greg@queensberry.com. Why not send him an email and welcome him to the family.

As always thank you for your continued support.

All the best
Stephen
