WORLD: Riedel Communications has announced the promotion of former Riedel Australia general manager Cameron O'Neill to the position of director for the entire Asia Pacific region. Mr O'Neill will be based in Tokyo, where he will seek to create a ‘robust East Asian hub for Riedel design, sales, support, and service’.
Mr O'Neill served as GM of Riedel Australia for three years, before which he was a professional user of the company's products. A regular attendee of the Japanese exhibition, InterBEE, he has already worked closely with Riedel’s Tokyo-based distributor Otaritec, and reportedly boasts ‘a good working knowledge of the Japanese language’.
According to Riedel Communications CEO Thomas Riedel, the promotion marks a renewed focus on Asia for the manufacturer. ‘In the next five years, we will be ramping up our focus on Asia,’ he explained. ‘Recent additions to our product portfolio make us more competitive in this market, and we're confident that Cameron can guide our regional operations in leveraging these innovations to take advantage of significant new business opportunities.’
‘Tokyo fills out our trio of Asian hubs, which also include Sydney and Singapore, and gives us a strong position from which to cover the Asia-Pacific region in its entirety,’ added Mr O'Neill. ‘I look forward to consolidating our distribution networks across Asia and to supporting both new and existing customers at a much higher level.’
