Graham Keogh is the new marketing manager of the recording media and energy division. He was previously senior product manager for visual displays.

"It is important to us to put a team in place that will strengthen our market position, while also delivering the best possible products, technologies and profitability to our partners," said Koichi Suzuki, general manager, consumer AV-IT marketing.

"I have full confidence in the combination of expertise and passion that all three of these appointments will bring to the Sony Australia team."
