SpaceClaim to Name Chris Randles as new CEO
CADCAMNet has learned that former Mathsoft CEO Chris Randles will be named tomorrow as the new CEO of SpaceClaim. He fills a vacancy left when co-founder and initial CEO Mike Payne was moved to a sole role as chairman of the board of directors.
Randles is currently entrepreneur-in-residence as Borealis Ventures, one of the three venture capital firms backing SpaceClaim. He started with Mathsoft in 2001 as vp of marketing, and later rose to become CEO, the position he held when the company was acquired by PTC in 2006.
CADCAMNet will feature an interview with Randles on Thursday.
Randles was raised in England, but has lived in the US for over 16 years and has dual UK and US citizenship. He holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Oxford and has also completed executive programs at London Business School and Caltech.

Sounds very much like Borealis Ventures appointed someone as CEO that will protect what’s left of their investment in SpaceClaim.
Without dumping the moronic marketing plan that SpaceClaim now his they will never make it in the marketplace.
SpaceClaim needs to realize that they must compete with Pro/E, SolidWorks and Inventor head to head and prove they are a better solution that is not based on 25-year-old technology like Pro/E, SolidWorks and Inventor are.
I’ve laid out how they need to do this here:
