ACT Entertainment Announces Two Promotions
As the new year begins, ACT Entertainment is marking two promotions and a retirement in the company's technical service department.
CTO Mario Collazo is retiring from the firm while Ryan Kanarek has been promoted to Director of Technical Services and Dustin Barnes has been elevated to the role of Software Support Manager.
Mario Collazo retired after 29 years of service at ACT Entertainment; he joined ACT in 1996 and became CTO three years ago. One of the company’s longest tenured employees, Collazo leaves in place a roster of experienced technical personnel who ensure that ACT’s service and support will continue to be best in class.
"The technical service and support at ACT Entertainment is not only critical to our customers but vital to our culture as a company," said ACT CEO Ben Saltzman. "We have been lucky to have leadership like Mario’s nurturing that culture of service, and luckier still to have people like Ryan and Dustin who have grown with ACT and will carry our mission forward."
