Bertrand Sicot To Write a New Chapter in SolidWorks

摘要

It was a well-kept secret, revealed with impeccable timing. In early January, SolidWorks announced that Jeff Ray, who has been the company's face and voice since he took over as CEO in July 2007, is stepping aside for a new man, Bertrand Sicot. The first thing Sicot did as the new chief when he stepped up to the stage at SolidWorks World 2011 (San Antonio, Jan. 23-26) was to put to rest, once and for all, speculations about the future of its desktop CAD software. "It will never be an either/or choice for you," he said. "We will always offer locally installed desktop CAD. In the end, the market will tell us [what it wants] ... the market is you."
