ROCHESTER, N.Y., February 4, 2002---Eastman Kodak Company's Commercial Imaging Group today announced that James Manchisi has been named president, Commercial & Government Systems (C&GS) replacing Carl A. Marchetto who was named president of the company's recently formed Commercial Imaging Group, and a senior vice president of the company. The Commercial Imaging Group was formed last November when the company announced a new operating model and a realignment of key businesses into groups. The new product- and market-focused model creates a simpler and lower-cost structure, and aligns natural teams for addressing customer needs. "These changes will create the foundation for growth," said Marchetto. "We will manage our strategic product group to drive customer focus and increased value to the markets we serve. This is how the company must be positioned to better serve our customers and achieve profitable growth in an increasingly competitive environment." Gerry Driscoll replaces Manchisi as general manager of Government Markets segment, Commercial & Government Systems (C&GS) where Jim served for two years.

A native of Queens in New York City (NYC), Manchisi has a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Cooper Union in NYC and an M.S. degree in computer science from the State University of New York in Binghamton. Manchisi resides in Victor, New York with his family. Driscoll joined Kodak as a development engineer in 1967 with a Bachelor of Science degree in physics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and later earned a Master of Science degree in physics from Pennsylvania State University, and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Rochester.
