Jim Hawkins has been promoted to the role of COO at Toshiba America Business Solutions.
He had been serving as vice president of sales operations and Toshiba Business Solutions Latin America, according to a press release. The 16-year Toshiba executive is now responsible for positioning the company's products, solutions and services for further success while ensuring revenue objectives are met.
As Toshiba's vice president of sales operations and TBS Latin America, Hawkins oversaw the organization's sales operations, professional services, project management, managed print services, business development and sales training across U.S. and Latin American distribution channels.

As our COO, Jim's impact across our entire organization is sure to be even more impactful."
"I'm very much looking forward to collaborating with teammates throughout our organization to ensure Toshiba's products, services and solutions remain positioned for success," Hawkins said in the release.
