Agfa appoints Scott Evers as Senior Vice President & North American Business Leader

ELMWOOD PARK, N.J., Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AGFA Imaging Solutions North America, is pleased to announce that Scott Evers has been appointed new SVP and North American Business leader for Imaging Solutions. As a veteran business leader and serial entrepreneur, Scott's formidable knowledge and experience in medical imaging promises to deliver new ideas and renewed energy to Agfa's North American team.

"This is a tremendous opportunity for me," says Scott. "As a medical imaging professional, I've always admired and appreciated the Agfa brand and now I have a chance to lead this incredible company through its next stage of growth in North America."

Scott has been in medical imaging for over 28 years — starting in 1994 as a sales rep calling on physicians for CompuRAD, the first software-based teleradiology solution. After a successful initial public offering (IPO) in 1996, the company was acquired two years later by Lumisys. Scott helped Lumisys build a network of digital dealers as VP Sales for the first desktop Computed Radiography (CR) product, before the company was acquired by Kodak in 2000. Successful roles as VP Sales for AuntMinnie.com (acquired 2004) and Orex (acquired 2005) followed, before founding Genesis Digital Imaging, a software company which built specialized tools for the non-hospital market. After Genesis was acquired by Carestream in 2012, Scott had the responsibility of VP Sales, Value Tier and VP Sales, Channel for the North American region until 2021. 

"Agfa is excited that Scott joined our leadership team and we look forward to the success of the North America Radiology Solutions organization as one of the key pillars in our global growth aspiration and strategy" Said Jose Herraez, DR Global Head of Commerce for Agfa's Radiology Solutions.
