UK - The Avolites team in London is expanding with the appointment of Jon Hole as product manager, bringing with him 15 years of industry experience.
Jon’s passion for the industry was first sparked whilst working at the Northcott Theatre in Exeter, UK, as a teenager, prompting him to go on to study stage management and technical theatre at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. Jon’s career has spanned roles within technical support, training, marketing and product management over the years.
Avolites MD Paul Wong commented: “We are thrilled to have Jon onboard. Jon’s skillset, knowledge and experience are a perfect complement to the team in our development and drive to innovate and accelerate our lighting and video control solutions.”
“I’m excited about Avolites’ product roadmap which will strengthen its value proposition,” Jon commented, adding that he also sees the current console portfolio, with the addition of the new Diamond 7 (D7), offering lighting and visual designers “powerful, super-quick and user-friendly tools to create plenty of magic onstage.”
His role at Avolites will involve collaborating closely with R&D, sales, marketing and of course, customers.
Jon’s first full week with Avolites was spent on the busy booth at ISE 2025 in Barcelona.
