Notably, he was responsible for doubling the PC shipments from 2008 to 2010 to reach US$2 billion in revenue. In 2011, Mr. Fromont was promoted President of Acer Pan America, and since that time, led the highly successful launch of Chromebooks to take the No. 1 position with 42% of the US market share(2). With his leadership, Acer also expanded its market share in Canada and Latin America leading to the No. 1 spot in consumer notebooks in Brazil(1), the No. 2 spot in mobile PCs in Canada(3) and Chile(4).
