Jeff Ray Leaving Dassault!!


Read news on some website that Jeff Ray is leaving Dassault Systems and joining Ventyx, an ABB company as CEO.


He was working as executive vice president of geographic operations at DS after he served as CEO of DS SolidWorks from 2007 to 2011.

New position was specially created for him by DS after Bertrand Sicot took over as CEO of DS SolidWorks in Jan 2011.

 He started working as VP geographic operations from Jan 2011, his work was to empower the Dassault Systems local teams to serve customers’ and partners’ growing needs and fully exploit the market growth potential.

I was surprised to read the news as the link given to news took me to Jeff’s LinkedIn profile. He has updated his current job profile as “CEO at Ventyx, an ABB Company” So; I tried searching for the official announcement on Dassault’s website. But, there is no official news or blog post confirming this.






It is quite surprising to see his updated profile on social media before any official announcement. You can still find Jeff’s profile in the board of directors on DS site and nothing about him on Ventyx site! 

Confused!!


His tenure as CEO DS SolidWorks was very successful with record growth. It reflected through media, blogs etc, but never heard about his work as VP geographic operations in media.  

Best wishes to Jeff for his new assignment.
