The growing demand for high-quality virtual production, integration of systems and development of efficient state-of-the-art workflows has left many creatives and corporations searching for a reliable, global partner. To address this need, ARRI is elevating ARRI Solutions to become its own business unit and has established two new senior management positions.
The business unit is led by Kevin Schwutke, who focuses on the strategic and commercial direction, and David Bermbach, who is responsible for the technological backbone. Under their leadership, ARRI Solutions will become a partner for a wide range of studio owners, operators, producers, content creators and corporate clients.
