REHOVOT, Israel - Objet Geometries Ltd., the innovation leader in 3D printing, today announced that printing technologies pioneer David Reis has been named President and CEO, effective immediately. He assumes the role from Adina Shorr, who steps down after six successful years at the company.
Mr. Reis, who has served on the Objet board since 2001 and is currently Objet's Active Vice Chairman, holds a B.A. in Economics and Business Administration and an MBA from Denver University. Mr. Reis brings to the company extensive leadership and international management experience. Most recently, he served as President and CEO of NUR Macroprinters Ltd.
Under Ms. Shorr's leadership Objet transformed from a startup to a leading player in the global 3D printing market.
