Gould Paper Names Takai VP, Compliance

Gould Paper Corp., New York, N.Y., USA, one of North America's largest distributors of printing and business papers, has announced the appointment of Yoshio Takai as VP, Compliance. A native of Japan, Takai lives in Fort Lee, N.J. He is a graduate of Yokohama National University and MIT and has worked for major corporations such as UBS, Shinsei Bank, and ExxonMobil. Recently, Takai held several senior positions with Overhead Door Corp. in Dallas, Texas.

"Mr. Takai is a welcome addition to the Gould team. In his new position, he will be responsible for Gould's compliance processes worldwide. Earlier this year, Japan Pulp and Paper, a public company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, purchased a majority ownership position in Gould. Being part of a public company, and with the increased complexity of doing business around the world, we at Gould must comply with all of the requisite benchmarks to assure continued high quality products, services and reporting," said Carl Matthews, EVP and CFO of Gould.
