A.C.T Lighting, is pleased to announce the promotion of Ryan Kanarek to the new post of Software Support Manager. Kanarek has filled the role of Software Technical Support for the past two years and will work closely with Will Murphy, Director of Software Support and Development at A.C.T Lighting, to ensure customers receive a consistent level of exceptional software support.
“Ryan’s exemplary showcase of our core values along with his skills made him a perfect candidate for this new role as A.C.T Lighting continues to grow,” said Will Murphy. “Ryan never stands down from a challenge and is always happy to help – two very important qualities required for technical support.”
Murphy also cites Kanarek’s expertise with the MA software platforms – grandMA2, dot2, MA3D and the MA Network Switch. “With the continued growth of those platforms it’s important to have the knowledge our customers need at our fingertips. Ryan will be integral in organising this information for the software support team.”
Kanarek said he enjoys working at A.C.T Lighting, “because, first of all, I get to work with the best lighting consoles in the business. But even more than that, I get to build a broad and deep understanding of the software and then help other people to increase their own knowledge.”
Prior to joining A.C.T Lighting Kanarek spent six years at Break the Floor Productions. Whilst there he served in various capacities, including Tour Lighting Designer for “JUMP,” the largest touring dance convention in the world, which played 25-30 cities annually in North America, Mexico and Central America. He was also Lighting Director, Master Electrician and Production Manager for four annual “A.C.E. Awards” shows.
