Uniden has welcomed Damon Gardner to the role of executive general manager for Oceania, following his appointment by the board of Uniden Corporation.

Prior to joining Uniden, Gardner was with Hunter Douglas Australia, leader in window coverings and major manufacturer of architectural products, for 18 years, most recently as managing director for Australia and New Zealand.

In his new role with Uniden, Gardner will oversee the company’s operations in the region. With a focus on growth in existing and new product categories, Gardner plans to steer Uniden’s successful consumer technology centred business, supporting its market aspirations in 2025 and beyond.

Gardner is committed to transforming Uniden into a more dynamic and responsive organisation within today’s fast-moving technology sector, focusing on enhancing customer service and support while also driving long-term value.

“Uniden is such a trusted brand in Australia with many award-winning products. I’m looking forward to bolstering our product expertise with an even better customer and consumer experience,” he said.

“Together with the wider management team, we look forward to continually innovating and exciting the market with best-in-class products that resonate with consumers. We have already released some highly successful products across our dash cam, home security and baby monitor categories and we will share more news over time.

“While I’m a new face to some of our customers, I look forward to meeting with our key contacts in the industry over the coming months.”
