Compulite Systems (2000) Ltd. Appoints Alon Cohen as Product Manager

Compulite Systems (2000) Ltd. has recently appointed Alon Cohen as product manager for new future developments of products for the next decade. The company says that Cohen's 25 years of experience will add a new innovative and practical approach to the company's products. He has, the company adds, extensive experience in various activities including; programming, operating, directing and lighting design. "Learning and listening to the market needs, users, operators and lighting designers makes Alon the right person in the right place at the right time," said Yehuda Shukrun, CEO.

Cohen started his lighting career as an apprentice in the Jerusalem Theatre, eventually becoming a film projectionist. At the age of 18, he started working for the Israeli company Danor, the biggest lighting rental company and sole distributor of Compulite products in Israel, as a lighting technician, crew chief, lighting programmer, and operator.

After a few years, Cohen went solo as an independent lighting designer, programmer, and director for local Israeli dance groups and theatre companies. During this time he also did a brief stint at Compulite, as QA and support manager. He was mostly involved with the final development stages of the Vector family, the company's flagship selling lighting console.

Cohen also became lighting designer for the National Philharmonic Orchestra as well as a lighting designer for corporate companies such as, Texaco Benelux, BP France, Comverse Italy, and Chabad organization, New York.

"I am very excited to be back at Compulite, and extremely excited for the upcoming challenges that lie ahead. I am honored for the opportunity and responsibility that has been given to me. I am looking forward to working again with the Compulite distributors and with the company's local staff. It feels like I never left," said Cohen.
