CAST appoints Stuart Green as CEO as Gil Densham retires

Previsualisation, tracking, and automation technology company CAST Group has appointed Stuart Green as its new CEO. Green will succeed CAST’s founder and CEO Gil Densham.

Green whose career spans the entertainment business and education has been associated, in one form or another, with CAST for almost 15 years, originally in a training and sales role, then as VP of education and community, and now as CEO.

Densham, who has been CAST’s CEO for 28 years, is retiring, as well as moving to an advisory role within the company.

CAST’s award-winning flagship software products are the wysiwyg lighting design and previsualization suite, Vivien event designer and BlackTrax real-time tracking technology.

“I am thrilled to become the new CEO of CAST and to oversee the exciting innovative progress we anticipate in the years to come,” said Green. “I, however, feel that this is the right time to express on behalf of all at CAST and within the community our sincere gratitude to Gil for his industry-changing contributions, being visionary, and his passionate leadership that allowed us at CAST to achieve many award-winning results and industry standards.”

Densham added: I’m very happy to hand over all responsibilities to Stuart and am confident he will do a great job, leading the company and developing our products further into the future. His strong entertainment background will be paramount to CAST and its products’ successes, as we continue to investigate exciting future feature updates in our core products and new innovative product ideas.”
