The office equipment retail giant Staples recently announced that Mike Miles, Staples inc president and chief operating officer, will assume responsibilities for Staples International company as from the start of September. Miles takes on the company responsibilities from Peter Ventress who has taken the decision to leave staples inc to accept a position as CEO of a UK-based public company.
"I'd like to thank Peter for his contributions to the company over the past year. He's been instrumental to the success of the Corporate Express integration effort. We wish Peter all the best in the future," said Ron Sargent, Staples chairman and CEO. "As we move ahead, Mike brings his tremendous leadership skills to his new responsibilities. He will drive our growth throughout Europe and in high-growth markets as Staples works to become the world's best office products company."
Miles joined the Staples organisation back in 2003 as chief operating officer and was then promoted 3 years later to president and chief operating officer. He has continued to drive growth across the company's North American office supplies business units, entering new retail markets in the office equipment and filing products market, acquiring new business delivery customers and expanding product and service offerings beyond office supplies. Miles will now be responsible for all of Staples' international businesses.
