Marketing Manager

I’ve been writing extensively about emerging engineering trends, including AI, advanced materials, digital twins, autonomy, and electrification for more than 10 years. I am currently responsible for Simcenter Engineering and Consulting Services marketing. I’m passionate about taking complex engineering projects and translating them into compelling stories that show the world the value that engineers bring to our lives and the planet. In my free time, I can be found chasing my feisty toddler and spoiling my two dogs.
