Mayzo Names New President and VP of Global Operations
SUWANEE, GA — Mayzo Inc. recently announced the appointment of Eduardo Padilla as President of the company and Garry Schoolcraft as Vice President of Global Operations. The promotions align with the company’s carefully devised succession plan. Padilla and Schoolcraft join James H. Jones, Chief Financial Officer, in Mayzo’s executive team. Founder and owner Ben Milazzo has retained the role of Chairman of the Board, while Valarie Milazzo has been elevated to Vice Chairman.
Mayzo recruited Padilla three and a half years ago after he had a career spanning over 25 years at Ciba Specialty Chemicals and BASF. “With Eduardo, we found a passionate leader with technical expertise in our additive chemistries, plus a strong global sales background. Even more intriguing, here he was, working at the industry’s largest manufacturer in a role where he was in charge of their distribution network. He understood both of those sales models. We were able to convince him that Mayzo’s approach derives the best of both manufacturing and distribution. In our private-label model, our focus is exclusively on our customers’ needs. Eduardo ‘got’ the advantages of that approach immediately. He is the perfect leader to carry forward Mayzo’s traditions of customer-centric service and innovation,” said Ben Milazzo. Prior to his promotion to President, Padilla was Mayzo’s Vice President of Global Sales and Service.
