Together with Florian Bloch, head of product management at ARRI Lighting, and the team, Ben Díaz will play an integral role in the planning, development, introduction, and life cycle management of new ARRI lighting products. Ben Díaz is a senior executive specialised in LED lighting technology. He is also a lighting designer, director of photography, and educator with more than 15 years of experience in the industry.
After several seasons directing lighting for television shows and designing tours for international artists, Ben Díaz joined the Danish manufacturer SGM Light in 2014, where he first worked as area manager and later as business development director for Latin America, Spain, and Portugal. In 2017, he became head of product management at SGM, assuming control of the LED portfolio across its life cycle while accelerating its presence in permanent outdoor installations.
“We at ARRI are thrilled to have Ben Díaz on board,” comments Florian Bloch. “Not only is his great enthusiasm for the world of lighting and camera palpable, but he has also proved his merit as a specialist in the development of state-of-the-art, high quality products.”
Ben Díaz states: “Joining ARRI means a lot to me. The first cinema camera I operated was an Arriflex and the first luminaire I ever bought was an ARRI Studio fresnel.”
