Pantech Bolsters Leadership Team, Focuses on Quick Messaging Devices

Charles Park to CEO, Dave Ronis to CMO

Pantech Wireless, Inc., – the U.S.-based subsidiary of Pantech Group, one of Korea’s largest mobile phone manufacturers – announced today the appointment of Charles Park to CEO and Dave Ronis to CMO. These leadership additions are made at a time when the company is increasing its focus on quick messaging devices, handsets that are uniquely designed for users that prioritize easy access to messaging and social media. At CES this year, AT&T reaffirmed a commitment to the category and acknowledged Pantech as a key manufacturer. Since 2008, Pantech has delivered popular quick messaging devices to AT&T, including the Impact, Matrix and Reveal. 

Charles Park joined Pantech in 2004 and previously served as the Vice Chief Officer of Overseas Sales and Marketing where he managed all international product sales and marketing for the company. Prior to this role, Charles was the head of Pantech’s R&D and chief of its UMTS lab at the company’s Korean headquarters where he oversaw the development of key handsets such as the dual-sliding, double-keyboard Pantech duo.

“2010 is a busy and important year for Pantech, and we will not be slowing down any time soon,” said Charles Park, CEO, Pantech Wireless. “I’m excited to lead our talented team in North America and work with them in expanding our portfolio of QMDs. We enjoy designing handsets for our customers and they have come to appreciate the unique and creative approach we bring to this category.”

Joining the team as CMO is Dave Ronis, who will oversee all sales and marketing initiatives in North America as well as product planning. Dave’s role entails working with Pantech’s global executive team to make decisions about device design, manufacturing and strategic global business issues. Dave has previously held executive-level positions at LG Electronics MobileComm and Cingular Wireless.

Pantech’s QMD customers can look forward to additional handsets hitting shelves throughout the coming year. For more information about current Pantech products, please visit www.pantechusa.com.
