Still film is still in Alaris territory.
Kodak Alaris owns all the marketing business for Kodak branded still film, Kodak photographic chemicals, and Kodak colour photographic paper.Exactly, this is about Kodak not Kodak Alaris.
However as we still do not know how things are situated practically between both firms, whether Kodak is only toll-coater for Kodak Alaris, or if Kodak Alaris is merely an outlet for consumer films from Kodak, the person in this position may be of importance concerning still film market strategy.

An IT salesman. Good grief.
And for the record, i'm an IT guy as well. But I was hoping him to be somebody with some past experience related to film things.
EK cannot possibly toll coat for KA because KA has no films whatsoever. They have no chemists, no formulations, etc. KA sells what EK makes. It's that simple.
If you prefer the term tollmanufacturing, then read this instead of my tollcoating.
However the term tollcoating in the past has been used within the Kodak-world for making a product customized for a certain client by fomulas and with materials of the manufacturer.
I think we all understand in what world we are living, that it is about profit.
However the people in charge decide which way a company goes to try to make profit.
A manager with a long background in film making may be (I say "may") more inclined to think of ways to keep this technology and the company's assets in brains and machinery for a niche market or a new to develop market, than a person from a completely different field, maybe even digital native, who considers halide technolgy as something 19th century and absolutely obsolete.

EK and KA are separate companies, but I doubt there is a great chasm between the two. The hopeful return of Ektachrome appears to represent sales by both companies. The actual return of Kodak P3200 most likely was a cooperative effort between both companies - I doubt KA cold-called EK and ordered a batch of P3200 (and if they did, I hope they order a batch of Panatomic-X next week). Most likely higher-ups at EK and the US division of KA got together and made a mutually beneficial deal.
Add consumer cine film to Kodak Alaris portfolio of products.
John O’GradyWho did they get rid of? (Who was in this role before ?)
I would assume that film production is constrained by demand, not by production capacity. So, in effect, EK can only produce (consumer films) what KA sells.
