It also serves as a global solutions partner to Boston-based SolidWorks Corp., a leading CAD and PDM engineering software company. As one of four partners in BWIR, Webb has been instrumental to the firm’s success in marketing its services to third-party customers worldwide and was responsible for securing each of its largest engineering accounts in his previous role as Partner—Strategic Relations. “Focusing Jim’s attention on our Engineering Services practice is an acknowledgement of his exceptional leadership and proven ability at creating new alliances with leading technology partners, as well as the enormous potential for growth in this area of our business,” Bennett said. Fundamental to BWIR’s continued growth over the past five years has been the ability to build long-term, strategic relationships with its customers.
