Terry Welty joins Quark as senior vice pres­i­dent of cor­po­rate mar­ket­ing, and Jim Haggarty joins the com­pa­ny as chief infor­ma­tion offi­cer. They report to Ray Schiavone, Quark pres­i­dent and CEO.

“I am excit­ed to wel­come Jim and Terry to the Quark team,” said Schiavone. “Their expe­ri­ence and skills will enhance our abil­i­ty to exe­cute our strate­gic growth plans and will be an excel­lent com­ple­ment to our team.”

Welty, a 20-year mar­ket­ing vet­er­an with a strong adver­tis­ing agency back­ground, will guide devel­op­ment of the strate­gic mar­ket­ing plan to sup­port cor­po­rate goals and dri­ve growth.

As the for­mer vice pres­i­dent of cor­po­rate mar­ket­ing for Arbortext, Welty guid­ed the company’s repo­si­tion­ing and its out­reach pro­grams, which increased mar­ket demand and aware­ness.

Welty earned his bach­e­lor of arts degree in Advertising and Marketing from Texas Tech University and his MBA in International Business Administration from Baylor University.

Haggarty, who has more than 30 years of infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy and oper­a­tions expe­ri­ence, will focus on the IT infra­struc­ture at Quark to ensure effi­cien­cies, reduce costs, and increase revenues.

Throughout his career, Haggarty has intro­duced strate­gic tech­nol­o­gy plans across diverse indus­tries, build­ing world-class infra­struc­tures and serv­ing as a lead change agent for cor­po­rate growth initiatives.

After begin­ning his career with Bayer AG in Montréal, Haggarty served as a direc­tor of sys­tems devel­op­ment for Domtar Inc. and as CIO for Domtar Gypsum.
