Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. Inc. (Konica Minolta) has announced Michael Mathé, chief of operations and sales enablement, and Alison Seltzner, strategic account director, as honorees on ENX Magazine's 2023 Difference Makers List. This annual program recognizes high-performing individuals in the office technology industry who have made significant contributions and are dedicated to uplifting the industry.

With more than 30 years of industry experience and fluency in Spanish, French, Portuguese and English, Mathé is a global digital transformation leader with a proven track record of success in business performance, acquisitions and accelerating sustainable revenue growth. He joined Konica Minolta in 2012 as senior vice president of international sales and was promoted to president of international operations in 2021. As chief of operations and sales enablement, Mathé currently leads several cross-functional operational teams that drive the company's digital transformation initiatives.

"With a passion for guiding digital transformation journeys, Michael is known for making a difference in our company every day by being an engaging, agile executive with sound analytical abilities to create meaningful and measurable value to our clients and partners," said Sam Errigo, president and CEO, Konica Minolta. "We congratulate him on winning this well-deserved award and look forward to his continued leadership in driving the success of our company, stakeholders and industry."

Launching her career with Minolta in 1992 — later Konica Minolta after the two companies merged — Seltzner consistently delivers results that exceed expectations. As the strategic account director and trusted advisor for one of Konica Minolta's largest dealers, she excels not only in setting and modeling standards of excellence in account management for her team, but also in strengthening bonds between the company and its dealer partnerships with customized solutions, unique training opportunities and shared programs. Seltzner's vast contributions were recently recognized when she won the account's inaugural Vendor of the Year award.

"As a master collaborator and business developer, Alison is a huge asset to Konica Minolta," said Laura Blackmer, president of dealer sales, Konica Minolta. "She builds tremendously valuable relationships based on trust, transparency and innovative thinking, which has enabled her and her team to grow all key product lines at unprecedented success rates. Alison embodies everything the prestigious Difference Maker award represents, and we couldn't be more proud of the extraordinary impact she continues to make in helping our dealers achieve desired business outcomes while advancing Konica Minolta's industry leadership."
