Olympus pens in new product manager

Olympus Imaging Australia has appointed Kristie Radtke as product manager across all DSLR, PEN and audio products.

Formally a product manager in the IT division at Samsung Electronics, Radtke’s role at Olympus will focus specifically on the PEN category, comprising the E-P1, E-P2 and the entry level E-PL1 model.

“Despite recent economic conditions, the PEN category has continued to grow steadily in Australia, and with unprecedented consumer interest expressed in our PEN range at PMA’s Digital Life Expo in Melbourne this month, this augurs very well for sustained growth into the future,” Olympus marketing manager Lisa Forrest said.

Radtke will also drive the audio range for Olympus, focusing on two new products designed for the business market - the DM-5 and DM-3 digital audio devices.
