ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE: ABD), a world leader in select
categories of branded office products, today announced that Thomas
W. Tedford has been promoted to executive vice president and
president, ACCO Brands Americas, effective immediately. Tedford
will have responsibility for the company’s sales, marketing and
operations in the United States, Canada, and Latin America. He
replaces Boris Elisman, who was named president and chief operating

Tedford was previously senior vice president, Global Marketing.
Before joining ACCO Brands in early 2010, he was group vice
president for Client Services at APAC Customer Services, which
provides high-volume telephone-based sales, marketing and customer

increasingly responsible sales and sales leadership positions in

Walmart. He will continue to report to Elisman in his new role.
“Tom Tedford brings a track record of success in sales,
marketing, and general management from Office Products and Consumer
Retail industries,” said Elisman. “I have full confidence in his
ability to continue to service our customers and drive profitable
growth of our Americas business.”
In addition, the company has consolidated product marketing,
design and development, and sourcing responsibilities under one
executive, Thomas H. Shortt, and named him executive vice president
and president of Product Strategy and Development, effective
immediately. He had previously been executive vice president and
Chief Strategy and Supply Chain Officer. Shortt will also continue
to report to Elisman.
“Tom Shortt has made great improvements in our supply chain and
sourcing functions,” said Elisman. “Under his leadership, I know we
will further improve the efficiency of our supply chain and the
effectiveness of our product development process.”
