Philippe DELANNOY joined Dassault Systèmes as Industry Solution Experience Director in 2014. He holds a Master’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech and in Mechanical Engineering from ENSTA Bretagne, France. He started his career in the United States as a Graduate Research Assistant at ASDL (Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory) in Atlanta, GA where he demonstrated technology evaluation and robust design simulation techniques to AIRBUS.
He then returned to France and entered the automotive industry as a PLM Consultant deploying Dassault Systèmes’ Solutions for PSA, ARO S.A.S. (world leader in welding equipment), and later spent 6 years as the Worldwide PLM Coordinator for the chassis brakes division of the Robert BOSCH Group. Maintaining the strategic view of PLM, he was responsible for the brake design teams and then for performance & NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) testing in Europe.
As he has always been a business process and business intelligence oriented, Philippe was a natural fit for the position of Industry Solution Experience Director at Dassault Systèmes—this time in a new field: Industrial Equipment. In this role, he is focused on accelerating global multi-disciplinary collaboration to engineering and manufacturing teams everywhere and integrating virtual & physical testing into a smart and flexible qualification process. Now largely focused on the tire manufacturing segment, Philippe is responsible for the development of a dedicated solution to transform tire manufacturers into sustainable mobility providers: SMARTYRE.
