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.<\/p>\n<p>Before OpenX, he had already served in a variety of senior roles at SAP, including product management, corporate strategy, and business development.<\/p>\n<p>Cumins is a dual French and U.S. citizen and is based in France. He holds Ma\u00eetrise de Droit (Law) and Ma\u00eetrise de Sciences de Gestion (Business) degrees from University Paris II Panth\u00e9on-Assas, Paris.<\/p>\n<h3>Nicholas praised Greg&#8217;s legacy in the announcement<\/h3>\n<p>Nicholas Cumins said, \u201cThis year marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of Bentley Systems, at its essence a company of engineers for engineers. Remarkably, the company has been founder- and family-led throughout those four decades.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Greg has presided over an extraordinary legacy of long-term growth, sustained innovation, and value creation inspired by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/bim-news\/pbc-today-bentleys-year-in-infrastructure-going-digital-awards-2023\/133964\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">commitment to advancing the world\u2019s infrastructure<\/a> for better quality of life. Greg has had a profound influence on the lives and careers of Bentley colleagues, and, together with them, on infrastructure engineers worldwide, taking pride in their work and what Bentley software enables them to accomplish. His entrepreneurial spirit is deeply embedded in the company\u2019s culture and values.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am honored to have been selected to follow in his footsteps, and I represent the Bentley leadership team when I say we are confident in our readiness and growth mindset for the coming decades.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Greg Bentley has been CEO since 1995 of the family-founded company<\/h3>\n<p>Greg Bentley is the oldest of five brothers who founded Bentley Systems. Keith, Ray, and Barry Bentley retired within the last several years and remain company directors.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Bentley said, \u201cI am very pleased to be able to retire from CEO responsibilities this year (at age 69) with such confidence that this completion of our extended succession process now leaves Bentley Systems demonstrably able to increase its potential, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/digital-to-build-future-infrastructure\/135203\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safeguarding its established performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Under Nicholas Cumins as COO since January 2022 (and Chief Product Officer previously) both our ARR growth and operating margins have consistently improved to the highest levels in our just-now 40-year history. And vitally, over the three-plus years since BSY\u2019s IPO and the expected retirement wave that enabled, we fully reinvigorated our executive leadership with a high-functioning cadre that, while 20 years younger, benefits from valuable public-company experience and is already reaching its collaborative stride.<\/p>\n<h3>Nicholas will bring &#8220;resolve and zeal&#8221; to the role<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cMost significantly, our Board determined Nicholas to be the ideal CEO for our future by virtue of the continuity he respects and personifies in our \u2018family values\u2019 of dedication to the success of our colleagues and thence the success of our users and accounts. Equally, I am personally excited by the resolve and zeal of Nicholas and this next generation of leaders for technical and commercial innovation within our sustained mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am looking forward to contributing as executive chair, foreseeably. Beyond supporting Nicholas behind the scenes in the functions naturally new to him, I will remain responsible for overall capital allocation, such as potential platform acquisitions. And by choice I will continue to regularly interact with our investment constituencies, with whom I have found particular affinity. Here\u2019s to Bentley Systems\u2019 next 40 years!\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Bentley Systems celebrates its 40th anniversary, Greg Bentley will transition to the executive chair role, with COO Nicholas Cumins promoted to CEO. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":138229,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[305],"tags":[428,661],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172387],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-138227","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bim-news","8":"tag-bim","9":"tag-hr","10":"stakeholder_rel_tag-bentley-systems"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Greg Bentley to transition to executive chair at Bentley Systems | Planning, Building &amp;
