Lineal will lead ARTiViA's commercial engine, including sales, marketing, and strategic partnerships, as the company scales its model for packaging artwork, premedia, and creative production for global brands.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span>ARTiViA is built on a clear premise: packaging teams should not have to choose between cost, speed, and quality. The company pairs senior, founder-led premedia production with disciplined quality governance, delivering measurable gains in speed per SKU, cost per SKU, and right-first-time quality. Its governing standard: expert premedia production on a leaner, faster base.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span>Lineal joins at a pivotal stage as ARTiViA moves from building its operating model to scaling market adoption.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span>Lineal brings more than 20 years of experience spanning the full commercial spectrum, supporting some of the world's most recognized retail and consumer brands. Over her career she has helped double e-commerce revenue growth, a +$100 million gain, while owning multimillion-dollar P&amp;Ls and building high-performing teams. Her work spans global brands including Champion, Spalding, Eddie Bauer, and Martha Stewart, and her structural and private-label packaging designs have been adopted as retailer standards, including a patented screen-cleaning design at Best Buy, luggage packaging at Walmart, and bedding packaging at Bed Bath &amp; Beyond. Recognition includes CEA Design &amp; Engineering Honors and C-Suite of the Year. Her foundation in packaging artwork and production combined with hands-on AI innovation gives her a direct line of sight into how modern creative and production companies scale.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span>&quot;Kara brings a rare combination of commercial leadership and deep understanding of creative and production systems,&quot; said Sofian Mustafa, Co-Founder and CEO of ARTiViA. &quot;We've built a model that changes how packaging work gets done. Kara will define how that model is brought to market and adopted by global brands.&quot;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span>At ARTiViA, Lineal will focus on building a repeatable, proof-driven commercial engine that is grounded in measurable outcomes such as speed per SKU, cost per SKU, and right-first-time quality.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span>&quot;My career has focused on translating creative and operational complexity into measurable growth,&quot; said Lineal. &quot;I've watched packaging and premedia become more expensive and less efficient while the rest of the supply chain sped up. ARTiViA closes that gap with a model built on expert talent, measurable quality, and structurally lower cost. It's a solution to a problem I've experienced up close for years.&quot;</span></p><p></p></div>

CPG and FMCG brands, running high SKU counts across multiple markets and languages with lean internal artwork teams, are left choosing between the two. ARTiViA closes that gap with founder-built premedia production and documented quality control, priced off a lean structure rather than a legacy cost base.</p><p><br/></p><p>ARTiViA delivers the full packaging graphics scope: production artwork and dielines, adaptation and versioning across languages and markets, prepress through plate-ready files, ΔE-governed color management, and digital proofing. Every account is owned by an expert accountable for turnaround, right-first-time quality and an auditable trail from brief to final file. The tagline states the commitment: &quot;Expert graphics, governed end to end.&quot;</p><p><br/></p><p>The company operates from a North American headquarters with a delivery engine in India, a center of premedia excellence its founders built and ran at global scale. That structure lets ARTiViA hold incumbent-grade quality standards while giving mid-market buyers response times and unit economics the category has not offered them.</p><p>ARTiViA's founders led the operations and production engine behind some of the industry's largest packaging graphics accounts. Chief Executive Officer Sofian Mustafa served as Senior Vice President of Global Operations at SGS &amp; Co through September 2025, directing operations across 39 sites in 27 countries for the world's largest consumer brands. Co-founder, COO and CTO Masthan Siraj built and ran the India premedia hub, growing it from 50 to more than 1,200 specialists across Coimbatore, Chennai and Mumbai over two decades in color and production quality.</p><p><br/></p><p>&quot;Mid-market brands have been asked to accept a tradeoff that no longer holds: pay incumbent prices for governed quality, or accept commodity work with no accountability,&quot; said Sofian Mustafa, Founder and CEO of ARTiViA. &quot;We built ARTiViA to end that tradeoff, with senior people, measurable governance and a lean structure. We believe the future of premedia is AI-powered production matched with human expertise and governance, and we are building toward it deliberately. What clients get today is expert human production they can measure.&quot;</p><p><br/></p><p>ARTiViA works as a second source that de-risks a brand's existing supply chain, adding governed capacity for launches, seasonal surges and versioning at volume.</p><p><br/></p><p>&quot;Our clients do not want another vendor. They want a partner who protects their margins, their timelines and their brand on the shelf,&quot; said Masthan Siraj, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of ARTiViA. &quot;We lead with governance you can see, we quote against a service standard, and we prove quality before anyone raises it as a question.&quot;</p><p><br/></p><p>More information is available at <a href="https://artiviainc.com/" title="artiviainc.com" rel="">artiviainc.com</a>.</p></div><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span></span></p><p></p></div>
