Chris Janczar is Product Offering Manager for Brand & Premedia Solutions at Esko, where he helps shape customer-facing software offerings and go-to-market direction for global brands and premedia partners. He brings more than 20 years of experience in packaging and enterprise technology.
Chris first joined Esko in 2005. His career has included customer support and professional services, solution architecture and pre-sales, and product management and leadership.
