SolidCAM is pleased to announce that Ken Clayton has joined its executive team in the role of Strategic Advisor, effective immediately.
Clayton is a familiar face in the SolidCAM community, after spending more than 25 years working for Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS and the adjacent partner community. For 10 years, Ken led the Dassault Systèmes Professional Channel team’s global efforts, stepping down in 2020 following a tenure that included SOLIDWORKS achieving greater than $1B in bookings.
“SolidCAM is a world class organization focused on taking great care of its employees and its customers,” says Clayton, “This formula has delivered industry leading products and services.”
“The stage is set for SolidCAM’s growth, with its holistic manufacturing portfolio, a talented reseller network and inspired team,” added Clayton, “and I am honored to join Team SolidCAM.”
Ken Merritt, SolidCAM Inc COO, comments: “Dr. Emil Somekh, CEO, continues to guide the fast pace of scaling SolidCAM’s partnerships, including the recent signing of a distribution agreement for North America and EMEA with Trimech Group, as well as our strategic partnership with TITANS of CNC, and SolidCAM’s inclusion in the DMQP (DMG MORI Qualified Products) Program to provide increased value to their customers”.
We are very pleased with this strategic alignment, and we are sure that the whole SolidCAM family and reseller community, many of whom are also SOLIDWORKS partners, will feel empowered through this development.
