North America Corporation recently announced that Bing Liem, division president, Imaging Division, was named president of the International Photographic Council (IPC) for the 2025-2026 term.
The IPC is a multinational, nonprofit, noncommercial organization founded in 1974 and its members range from across the photographic and imaging industry worldwide. In 1983, the United Nations officially recognized IPC as a Civil Society Organization formally associated with the United Nations Department of Global Communications, and its mission is to promote “peace through photography, the universal language.”
“I’ve been actively involved in the IPC for well over 20 years and I’ve always been deeply committed to their mission,” said Liem. “The chance to help shape the future of this organization, advocate for all areas of the photographic industry and highlight the powerful role of photography as a universal medium for communication is an incredible opportunity that I am both passionate about and eager to embrace.” In this volunteer role, Liem will be responsible for oversight of IPC operations and will chair the executive board, which consists of six additional members of the photography community.
“Fujifilm’s global group purpose is giving our world more smiles. It’s our commitment to bringing diverse ideas, unique capabilities and extraordinary people together to change the world.” Liem said.
Liem joined Fujifilm in 2006, after working for AGFA Gevaert for 22 years. He has been in the role of division president at Fujifilm for the past three years, moving into that role from various leadership roles across Fujifilm. At the helm of the Imaging Division, he oversees all operations of the company’s imaging presence in the Unites States as well as Central and South America. Liem is a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, where he studied photography and business. He is a resident of Ridgefield, Connecticut, along with his wife and two children.
Fuji, headquartered in Tokyo, leverages its depth of knowledge and proprietary core technologies to deliver innovative products and services across the globe through the four key business segments of health care, electronics, business innovation and imaging with over 70,000 employees.
