(PRESS RELEASE) ROSH-HA`AYIN, ISRAEL – Kornit Digital LTD. (NASDAQ: KRNT) (“Kornit” or the “Company”), a global pioneer in sustainable, on-demand digital fashion and textile production technologies, announced the appointment of two senior sales executives to accelerate its growth and enhance its focus on driving business success for Kornit customers. These strategic hires will empower a broader range of brands, creators, and producers in the Americas to seamlessly transition from screen printing to digital textiles—enabling them to scale production volumes, streamline supply chains, and achieve faster business growth.

Kornit is investing deeply in customer success, helping them improve operations and expand business opportunities. Recognizing the transformative impact of integrating digital printing solutions into traditional workflows, Kornit is equipping its team to deliver unparalleled support to innovative customers ready to lead this industry shift. During the past few months, the company has created several strategic roles focused on business consulting, marketing, and operational excellence, designed to further enhance its customer-centric approach.

As part of this initiative, Kornit is welcoming Chris Carson to its team. Formerly the North American Sales Director for HP’s Industrial Print business, Chris brings more than 30 years of experience as a senior sales executive. At HP, he successfully managed a $300 million division, earning a reputation for driving strategic sales initiatives and promoting cross-functional collaboration to elevate the customer experience. Prior to HP, Chris dedicated more than two decades to senior sales leadership roles at Xerox Corporation, further solidifying his expertise and leadership in the industry.

Additionally, Kyle Garner joins Kornit as the new North American Sales Director. Garner brings more than 30 years of experience, most recently leading the Americas Strategic Accounts organization within HP’s Industrial Print business. His expertise includes managing regional and global sales teams and driving operational excellence. Garner also has held executive positions at Xerox Corp., further solidifying his industry leadership credentials.

“Kornit has built a solid foundation worldwide helping brands, retailers, creators, and producers drive new revenue streams and accelerate business growth through our award-winning, direct-to-garment and direct-to-fabric technologies. At PRINTING United Expo, we spoke about our winning path forward, which includes accelerating recurring revenues through such innovative approaches as our new All-Inclusive Click Model and revamped go-to-market,” says Ilan Elad, President of Kornit Digital Americas.
