You see that face? Get ready to see it on an infrequent basis and perhaps in your head as you lie awake at night. That is the new face of SolidWorks. The new CEO, Bertrand Sicot. Executive power has been shaken up in Dassault Systemes much like a whale launching itself from the deep while mixing a cocktail.
Regardless of that being the best analogy you’ve ever heard, leadership changes are in play, new positions are being created and Dassault Systemes is on the hunt to push their software and their ideas for 3D CAD Tech into every region of the globe.
I talked with Jeff Ray and Bertrand Sicot over the phone earlier today. Here’s what they had to say about the change and what it means for SolidWorks customer and Dassault as a whole. Plus, we catch up with Jeff about the “kill SolidWorks” comment, what’s happening with the Labs group and see where Bertrand wants to take SolidWorks.
The level of my customization for something that needs the standard ‘ugly’ removed is typically slapping stickers all over with a little spray paint. It just doesn’t get any more ‘ROCKIN’ than that… in my opinion.
