Manish Kumar has been promoted as the CEO of SolidWorks, its vast portfolio of 3D design and engineering applications that has a significant number of users in India. The company also announced that Gian Paolo Bassi, current CEO of Solidworks, will lead its 3D Experience Works organization as Executive Vice President.

As CEO and Vice President of R&D SolidWorks, Kumar will spearhead the R&D and user community relationship, and accelerate SolidWorks adoption.

With his additional role as CEO, Kumar will spearhead the tight relationships between R&D and the brand’s vibrant community of users, and accelerate the adoption of the continuously expanding SolidWorks portfolio, the company said during its annual ‘3D Experience World 2022‘ event late on Monday.

Meanwhile, Bassi will lead an extensive organization dedicated to the continued growth of 3D Experience Works and to maximizing the value delivered to the mainstream innovation space.
