ESI Group SA announced that Christian Matzen, GEC member, is promoted to Executive Vice-President Sales and Marketing, and Dominique Lefebvre is appointed Director of Edition Product Operations and joins the GEC. These executive corporate management changes follow the recent appointment of Angelita Reyes as the Group Human Resources Director, GEC member, who is already actively involved in the Group’s structural reorganization plan. Christian joined the Group as Managing Director of IC.IDO in 2011, when ESI acquired this virtual reality technology pioneer. He will draw on his operational and strategic expertise of industrial requirements to devise a new sales and marketing policy for developing large accounts and their supply chains, and also growing the customer base around the Group’s three recently defined business pillars. Christian was previously Executive Vice-President Immersive Virtual Engineering and Group Executive Committee (GEC) member. Dominique joined ESI Group in 1991 after a period as a lecturer-researcher in the Aeronautics Department at Imperial College, London. He has occupied many different roles within ESI, first in software development and then as production processes product manager, before being appointed Head of Product Management and now of Product Operations. Dominique’s deep knowledge and long experience of ESI and its numerous innovative technologies will help keep the Group’s R&D in line with its new value propositions. Dominique joins the Group Executive Committee (GEC).
