Marcus Adler has stepped down as CEO of Roland DG Australia and New Zealand after a 25 year association with the wide format company.
A replacement has yet to be announced, and in the interim, the Roland DG executive team is responsible for the management of the Australian and New Zealand businesses.
Adler's affiliation with Roland DG began in 1982 when he worked for Roland Corporation with a team of other Australian software engineers developing a program to allow music to be composed on a computer screen and played on the Roland CMU-800 music synthesizer.
In 1988, Adler graduated from Swinburne University with an Honours degree in Engineering and joined Roland DG running the service department and as product manager for the new generation CAMM-1 sign machine, the PNC-1000.
After leaving Roland DG for a brief period in 1993, he returned to Roland DG with the prospect of heading up the company and was appointed as general manager in November of 1994.
In 1999 Roland DG Australia took control of the New Zealand operations and the entire South Pacific region while in 2003, Adler acquired a shareholding in the company and was appointed managing director.
Commenting on his departure, Adler says he believes it is now time he moved on to new ventures.
Roland DG wished him the best in his future endeavours.
