Dscoop names new global leadership

Dscoop, abbreviated from Digital Solutions Cooperative, is an independent global community of graphic arts business owners and technical professionals who use HP Indigo and Scitex equipment and related systems.

As global executive director, Fogarty will oversee the day-to-day management of Dscoop, including oversight of the organization’s strategy, financials, operations, marketing and strategic initiatives around the globe.

Fogarty joins Dscoop with a marketing and business development background. His international experience includes expanding his Chicago-based company, Kokopelli, to Switzerland, establishing a Swiss GmbH to serve his EMEA clients.

Fogarty said: ‘I am certain my passion, international experience and first-hand industry knowledge is a great fit to continue Dscoop’s expansion and ensure this cooperative’s status as a great, enduring organization.’

Tenwinkel has worked at Diversified Global Graphics Group since 2008, first as director of digital operations and latterly as vice-president of digital and distribution services. He has also worked as digital print production manager at TanaSeybert.

Tenwinkel will be responsible for the implementation and growth of Dscoop University as its new director.

Dscoop University is a community-driven training program for print service providers. The curriculum will span multiple market segments and functional tracks that include marketing, sales, operations and technology-specific topics.

The course curriculum will largely be derived from the real-world knowledge and experiences of Dscoop members, supplemented by HP resources and best-in-class industry information providers.

The curriculum will be continuously updated to maintain its relevance and value amid shifts in market behavior and technology advancements. 

Dscoop University will offer dual-platform learning through both online and in-person venues. Through a secure web portal, attendees will have 24/7 access to course content. Additionally, interactive instructor-led classroom sessions, based on member needs, will be offered on a range of topic tracks in various locations.

Regarding the appointments, Chris Petro, Dscoop global chairman, said: ‘The global board is sure that these new leaders will continue to move the Dscoop vision of providing year-round education, benefits and tools to improve our members’ business growth, efficiency and profitability to new levels.

‘I am very excited about the growth our organization will see as a result of these impressive new leaders.’
