Cumins is the first CEO in the company’s 40-year history who is
not a Bentley family member, marking a significant milestone in the
company’s development. The Bentley brothers redefined what was then
computer-aided design (CAD) software when they developed
MicroStation as a groundbreaking engineering application platform.
Four decades of innovation and more than 120 acquisitions later,
Bentley Systems is the leading provider of infrastructure
engineering software, with its infrastructure digital twin
solutions used to design, build, and operate critical
infrastructure around the world.
The transition to Cumins’ leadership comes at a critical time
for infrastructure sectors. There are not enough engineers to
accomplish the work required to achieve global sustainability
targets while also adapting aging infrastructure vulnerable to the
effects of climate change.
Cumins unveiled Bentley’s vision for infrastructure resilience,
noting that engineering firms and asset owner-operators are looking
to software to help them overcome the limitations of scarce
talent.
“Infrastructure is at a watershed moment. Despite the massive
capital investment in infrastructure projects and jobs post
pandemic, so much more remains to be done to make infrastructure
more resilient. Our ability to bridge that gap will literally
determine the quality of life for generations to come. Fortunately,
a paradigm shift in software is reshaping the landscape. AI-powered
digital twin solutions are unlocking the value of data across the
infrastructure lifecycle.”
For example, Bentley’s AI solutions are already transforming the
way organizations are monitoring the health of roads, bridges,
dams, water networks, and telecommunications towers.
“Every owner-operator in the world is looking for a simpler and
more effective way to understand the condition of their assets.
Think what the power and possibilities of AI imply for improving
asset performance and making infrastructure more resilient. This is
the moment for our generation to apply its ingenuity and build upon
the legacy of innovation to continue advancing the world’s
infrastructure for better quality of life.”
Before his promotion to CEO, Cumins served as Bentley Systems’
COO from January 2022. He joined Bentley Systems as Chief Product
Officer in September 2020 prior to the company’s IPO. Previously he
was General Manager of SAP Marketing Cloud and served as Chief
Product Officer of Scytl, a platform for online voting, and as
Senior Vice President of Product with OpenX, a pioneer in
programmatic advertising. Before OpenX, he had already served in a
variety of senior roles at SAP, including product management,
corporate strategy, and business development. Cumins is a dual
French and U.S. citizen and is based in France.
