WorldStage, Inc. has expanded its LED department with two new hires and an internal promotion. Josh Perlman, Senior Project Manager at WorldStage, has been named Director of LED Services and Wayne Romanowski and Stewart Douglas have joined as Senior LED Technicians in New York and California, respectively.
The LED department was launched to support the extensive investment WorldStage has made in LED display technology, complementing the company's projection technology prowess. The company has grown its inventory in the last 18 months and now has thousands of LED tiles, ranging from 3mm to 18mm, represented by multiple products. New products include the ROE Hybrid 18 dual-resolution display.
"LED technology is specialized to some extent and to insure clients are optimizing LED's capability, we wanted a dedicated team managing it from sales to on-site," says Josh Perlman. "WorldStage has always been a leader in quality solutions and our LED offerings can be no different.
In assuming the role of Director of LED Services, Perlman will provide dedicated LED sales support for the WorldStage team and oversee LED operations. He will continue to work directly with clients as well, carrying on in his role as Senior Project Manager.
The WorldStage LED department has grown rapidly and, with the addition of Romanowski and Douglas, gains some true industry veterans. "Wayne and Stewart together have almost 50 years of production experience," Perlman notes.
