Montvale-based Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA), a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation (SEC), announced that Matt Petry has been appointed to senior vice president of Sharp Business Systems (SBS), SIICA’s direct sales and service operations.
Petry reports directly to SIICA President and CEO Mike Marusic and is responsible for all aspects of the direct sales business for SIICA. He steps into the position as Joe O’Malley retires after a noteworthy career at Sharp and other office technology leadership roles.
“We’re grateful for Joe’s commitment during his five years with Sharp. His way of connecting with everyone in the organization has always been deeply appreciated,” said Marusic.
“We are excited for our next phase of accelerated growth under Matt’s guidance. He has already fostered strong results since his first days at Sharp, and we remain confident that he will build on that momentum into the future, thanks to his incredible work and dedication.”
Petry joined SBS in April 2025 as vice president, West Region. With a strong leadership background across finance, sales and general management, his approach to driving results has expanded the organization’s presence in the market while deepening relationships with existing clients.
“The company with the best people at all levels and proper focus on strategic success will always find a way to win,” said Petry. “It’s this mentality that brought me back to the industry and was undeniable within Sharp.
“We have amazing people and a robust product and services portfolio, as well as a roadmap that is aligned with the client’s needs. I look forward to collaborating and empowering at all levels to drive long-term success for our employees, clients and partners.”
Petry officially stepped into the role on Jan. 1.
