Dunedin, FL--Spectroscopy company Ocean Optics appointed appointed Kevin Chittim company president.

Dunedin, FL--Spectrometer and spectroscopy equipment manufacturer Ocean Optics appointed appointed Kevin Chittim to the position of company president. Chittim's appointment follows the move of former president Robert Randelman to divisional chief executive for Ocean Optics' parent company, Halma p.l.c.

Prior to Ocean Optics, Chittim served as CEO at sister Halma company, Labsphere. During his tenure at Labsphere, Chittim led the company through a period of explosive growth, including a successful merger with SphereOptics in 2010 and establishment of a wholly owned subsidiary in Shanghai, China. Before joining Labsphere in 2007, he held executive positions at Radiant Imaging, Melles Griot, Newport, and Spectra Physics.

Randelman said, "Kevin brings significant knowledge of the photonics marketplace and the potential to make a substantial impact in broadening the range of applications and bringing them to market faster throughout the world. In addition, as our organization grows Kevin will be an excellent mentor and coach to develop our leaders of tomorrow."
