Monday March 29 2010… Owen Walker has joined ROOT6 Technology as Head of Product Management where he will be responsible for developing the product strategy for ContentAgent, the company’s universal content management, re-purposing and distribution platform.
Walker returns to the UK following a four-year stint in the U.S. where he served most recently as Worldwide Product Manager for Adobe Systems’ professional editing product, Premiere Pro. Prior to joining Adobe, Walker held the role of Senior Worldwide Product Manager at Avid where he was responsible for the global development of Media Composer, NewsCutter and Symphony Nitris.
