Sussex-based marketing experience company Quad has promoted chief operating officer Dave Honan to president. Honan, who has been with Quad since 2009, will retain his current role as chief operating officer, adding the title of president.

Joel Quadracci, who has served as president and CEO since 2006 and chairman, president and CEO since 2010, will continue as Quad’s chairman and CEO, remaining focused on long-term strategy, innovation, and stakeholder relationships.

As president and COO, Honan will oversee day-to-day operational leadership across Quad’s business units, working closely with Quadracci and the executive team to advance the company’s strategic vision and growth priorities. He continues to report directly to Quadracci.

“This evolution of our leadership structure supports Quad’s ongoing development as a company committed to solving marketing complexity at scale,” Quadracci said. “During his 17 years with the company, Dave has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership in his various roles. Most recently, as COO, he has done an excellent job overseeing operational leadership of our manufacturing platform. I look forward to our continued partnership in his expanded role as he focuses on disciplined execution of our growth initiatives.”

Honan has held numerous positions at Quad including chief accounting officer, chief financial officer, and, most recently, chief operating officer.

He helped build Quad’s public-company finance and accounting functions and capital structure, according to a Tuesday announcement. He also led operating strategies that improved manufacturing efficiency, drove margin expansion, and supported innovation and new product development.

“I’m honored by this opportunity and the confidence Joel and the board of directors have placed in me,” Honan said. “Quad has an incredible legacy and exciting future. Our team’s dedication to helping clients navigate the evolving marketing landscape is unmatched, and I’m excited to lead our day-to-day operations as we work to accelerate our momentum. I look forward to partnering with Joel to drive growth, empower our talented teams, and deliver exceptional value for our clients and shareholders.”
