Altair Appoints Jean-Pierre Roux as President, Altair Canada
Altair Engineering, Inc. announced that Jean-Pierre Roux will be named President of Altair Engineering Canada effective September 1, 2008. Roux will have complete responsibility for Altair operations across Canada.
Roux is an engineering graduate of INSA (Institut National des Sciences Appliquees de Lyon). He has been active in engineering design and finite element analysis since joining Mecalog, a French engineering company, in 1996. From 2001-2005, Roux was team leader on projects for a number of automobile companies, including BMW and the Automotive Exterior division of Plastic Omnium, a Tier One automotive supplier. He rejoined Mecalog in 2005 with a focus on aerospace clients. Mecalog was purchased by Altair in 2006. Roux is currently Altair Lead Account Manager for a major European rail industry corporation.
"Jean-Pierre's extensive experience in working as Account Manager with leading European companies will be of great value to our Canadian customers," said Robert Little, whom Roux will replace as President, Altair Canada. "He brings to the job not only account management skills but hands-on experience in the development of parts and subsystems."
Little is now in transition to head up Altair's new subsidiary solidThinking Inc., which markets a leading industrial design and styling software used by many major-brand companies.
