"I’m thrilled to welcome Dana on board," comments Cayzer. "His appointment marks a significant strengthening of our team. Los Angeles is a critical hub and we wanted someone on the ground there who truly understands the industry and the relationships within it. Dana’s extensive experience will be invaluable in building the ARRI Rental business within the US and globally."
