  • During Coons' tenure, Lexmark's Enterprise Software expanded from its enterprise content management software roots into process, capture and search technologies, and significantly strengthened the company's industry-focused solutions. Coons helped expand the Enterprise Software team's international footprint through organic sales investment and acquisitions. Coons will assist in the leadership transition until his retirement date.
     
  • Effective immediately, Reynolds C. Bish, CEO of Kofax, succeeds Coons as president of Lexmark's Enterprise Software. Bish will also be a Lexmark vice president and report directly toPaul Rooke, Lexmark chairman and chief executive officer. Bish has been active in enterprise software markets for more than 20 years. He has successfully led Kofax since 2007. Prior to Kofax, Bish co-founded Captiva Software Corporation and served as its president and chief executive officer from 1989 until its acquisition in 2005.
