      <![CDATA[ 
You’re likely familiar with TIME100:The Most Influential People of 2024. It’s an annual roundup of artists, leaders, innovators, and pioneers who made their mark in 2024 in a significant way. A lot of the people on the list you probably already know.



At Dassault Systèmes, we have 23,811 extraordinary employees in 142 countries worldwide and over 350,000 customers in 12 different industries. And while their names may not have the same reach as Dua Lipa or Mark Cuban&#8217;s, we’re pretty proud of the impact they’ve had on this company and the future of the industry.&nbsp;



As 2024 comes to a close, we’re revisiting the humans within the Dassault Systèmes ecosystem that were highlighted throughout the year on the Dassault Systèmes blog. Whether you missed it the first time around or are enjoying it a second time, we hope these influential people inspire you.



Please note that this list is completely for fun and not a true ranking of the most influential people in this company. The goal of the Humans Driving Progress series is to highlight employees and friends of Dassault Systèmes who are making a mark in their own unique way!



2024’s “most influential people” &#8211; according to Dassault Systèmes

      <![CDATA[ 
Walk into the 3DEXPERIENCE Fab Lab on Dassault Systèmes’ Boston campus on any given day, and you’ll probably run into Sal Lama.&nbsp;



The lab isn’t actually his office; that’s in another building on campus. Nevertheless, as a mentor, he spends plenty of time there and has since it opened in 2017. Back then, to inaugurate the new space, Dassault Systèmes hosted a weeklong intensive course for employees to learn all about the space and the machinery it’s outfitted with.&nbsp;



“I was, of course, traveling that week,” said Lama, the director of product definition at SOLIDWORKS.&nbsp;



But shortly after, the company hosted an iteration of the well-known Fab Academy course. The 20-week program, which was spawned from the famous How to Make Almost Anything class at nearby MIT, was a pivotal moment for Lama. Because of it, he became a mentor in the lab, a role he fills with an incredible amount of enthusiasm.



Today, he uses the skills he garnered in that course &#8211; and in his 25-year career with the company &#8211; to empower others. He gets really excited talking about the projects people have asked for his help with, large and small. While most people in search of mentorship go through the lab’s chain of command by reaching out to one of the official 3DEXPERIENCE Lab staff members, Lama often simply gets approached by people who wander in looking for help. And unlike mentors in the various 3DEXPERIENCE labs around the world, Lama works primarily with individuals, not start-ups.&nbsp;



The nature of the work is stimulating, and he lights up seeing how people appreciate the work he can help them produce. One of the most pivotal experiences in his mentorship journey so far has been his work with the Magic Wheelchair program.&nbsp;



The latest Magic Wheelchair creation, a pterotron transformer 



Since 2018, Magic Wheelchair has teamed up with SOLIDWORKS to create customized costumes for children in wheelchairs. Lama has been a part of the program since the beginning.



In the first year of the project, he and his team worked together to build a wheelchair for a boy named Jonah.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



“We built the coolest magic wheelchair costume of a giant monster truck, and if that wasn’t enough, we gave it to him at a monster truck rally. And it was just crazy to see, watching him light up and tear around the parking lot,” Lama said.&nbsp;



“It was just epic, the act of just making something for someone else,” he added.&nbsp;



Looking back on the work he’s done so far and the achievements he’s helped others make, he credits a lot of it to the culture at Dassault Systèmes.&nbsp;



“I’ve always found that the company supports employees who want to do these kinds of whack job things,” Lama said.&nbsp;



The environment of the fab lab is extremely conducive to making those “whack job things” that Lama is talking about. Stroll through the space, and you’ll see the latest Magic Wheelchair that Lama and his team are working on, materials from some of the start-ups being incubated in the lab, and even a 3D-printed squirrel that Lama himself helped this writer make. 



Coming from a family of educators, you could say that his inclination to help and teach others is simply in his DNA. But he doesn’t just want to assist—he hopes to encourage others to do the same.&nbsp;



“I’d love to see a day when we have 50 mentors,” he told me. And he’s got ideas on how to make that happen.&nbsp;



Lama loves being a mentor, and he’s on a mission to share his enjoyment of teaching with his lifelong appreciation of CAD software. In addition to his work in the lab and with SOLIDWORKS, he’s also spent the last two years creating a Youtube channel called Our Next Make. The videos he produces with his wife and SOLIDWORKS co-worker, Chin-loo Lama, aim to inspire the next generation of makers by showcasing how different tools can be leveraged to create almost anything under the sun.&nbsp;



Sal and wife Chinloo Lama, hosts of Our Next Make 



Through his work on social media, in the lab, and even on college campuses where he often presents to students, he’s drumming up excitement for the next generation of makers.&nbsp;



“If we can inspire the next generation to continue to use our software, that’s good for everyone,” Lama said.&nbsp;



Sal Lama is part of a cohort of Dassault Systèmes employees lending their knowledge to ground-breaking start-ups and innovators. Check out how some of his other colleagues are driving progress.

      <![CDATA[ 
“I like to help.”



That’s what Henry Shibayama will tell you if you ask him what inspired him to get involved in mentoring.



“I like to help, I like to teach, I like to share my knowledge.”



And share he does. Shibayama, who has worked at Dassault Systèmes for more than 8 years, discovered the company’s fab lab just three days after transferring from the company’s location in Brazil to its American headquarters outside Boston. Touring one of the campus buildings, he wandered into the lab and instantly wanted to get involved.



He reached out to the lab and said he wanted to contribute. After some time getting acquainted with his new settings, he eagerly awaited a match for his skills and a start-up in the lab’s accelerator program that was in need of them.



Today, he’s volunteering his time to work as a mentor for Fem Therapeutics, a Canada-based medical device start-up. The company has created a personalized prosthetic insert for treating patients with pelvic floor disorders, which affects some 50% of women who have given birth. It’s a noble cause, and one Shibayama can relate to: his wife suffered from a pelvic floor disorder after giving birth to the couple’s youngest child just seven months ago.



“It’s really interesting because I started working with them at the time my wife was diagnosed with this problem, and I was like, ‘Hey, there’s a need for that,’” he said.



For the last year, Shibayama has been helping Fem Therapeutics automatically optimize the design of their prostheses by leveraging external data from patients. Doing so requires combining data science methods with simulation, two of Shibayama’s specialties. The company’s efforts are being developed in tandem with a new method of healthcare known as personalized medicine. Using artificial intelligence and 3D printing, they’re providing customized solutions made for a patient’s own unique anatomy, a significant advancement toward improving patient care and outcomes.&nbsp;



Having a personal connection makes the work even more meaningful for Shibayama, and getting to mentor start-ups like Fem Therapeutics has even changed the way he sees his job at Dassault Systèmes.



“It’s our role to think outside the box,” Shibayama said, “[To] see from your own experience and your knowledge and try to help these startups the best you can. I think that’s the way I approach work, not only with startups but with every client I have a meeting with.”



As an Industry Process Consultant in NETVIBES, Dassault Systemes’ AI-augmented business intelligence division, he’s found an outlet not only for his technical expertise but his creativity, too.



Most of Shibayama’s work focuses on matching large companies with technologies that they’re in need of. Though that might sound simple, sometimes, it’s anything but. He works with clients to understand their unique business needs, identify potential solutions to address them and then adapts offerings accordingly to deliver tailored solutions that will work for them. That extends to anything from understanding how their data is structured to configuring the right add-ons or capabilities. As a consultant well-versed in this type of work and in the Dassault Systèmes portfolio of solutions, this expertise made him an exceptional candidate for the lab’s mentoring program.



Shibayama loves it. It’s the perfect combination of applying his technical knowledge with his imagination, providing invaluable assistance for companies setting out to change the future for the better.



Outside of work, he’s taking on another invaluable task: introducing his young son to music, aiming to stoke a love for it like his own.



“I’m trying to be a better musician myself and maybe that will influence him somehow,” he said. “Maybe that’s silly, but that’s what I have in mind.”

      <![CDATA[ Suraj Kamble is making his mark on the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab by applying his technical skills to help start-ups succeed. 
 ]]>
      </description>
      <content:encoded>
      <![CDATA[ 
There’s a word in India that encapsulates the idea of getting things done without having a lot of resources.&nbsp;



“Jugaad: It means, more or less, you make things work,” explained Suraj Kamble, an engineer at Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Lab in Pune, India.&nbsp;



Kamble, who always wanted to be an engineer, exemplifies jugaad.&nbsp;



He started at Dassault Systèmes just two years ago, originally working as an intern in the lab and then becoming a full employee. Since joining, he’s been fully immersed in the start-up ecosystem, lending his expertise and mentorship to start-ups in the lab’s accelerator program.&nbsp;



While most Dassault Systèmes employees volunteer themselves to work in the mentorship program, Kamble was nominated for participation by senior members in the lab. They saw him rise through the ranks and decided he was a natural fit for the program.&nbsp;



Inspired by jugaad and powered by the Open Frugal Innovation community on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Kamble is helping start-ups make a significant impact, including one he’s gotten the opportunity to see with his own eyes.&nbsp;



His first foray into mentoring at the lab was with Tigoona, an Indian start-up and member of the Open Frugal Innovation community.&nbsp;



The company designs solutions for mobile entrepreneurs to overcome last-mile challenges. Put simply, they create bikes that can power entire on-the-go businesses. While it might seem like a simple product, the company needed assistance in making its latest version modular so that it could be easily shipped and assembled by the end user. To do so, they enlisted Kamble’s help.&nbsp;



He analyzed the company’s design using simulation tools and conducted testing with SIMULIA’s structural analysis and dynamics solutions. The modeling and remodeling processes took six months, after which Kamble saw the fruits of his labor, spotting the design he’d worked on out on the street.







After that project wrapped up, Kamble was hooked and eagerly awaited his next assignment. Soon, it came in the form of a green hydrogen technology company.&nbsp;



Galaxy FCT, a Malaysian start-up dedicated to making the logistics industry more sustainable by deploying solutions powered by green hydrogen. The company needed to digitize its story and product into an interactive web experience. The project was all hands on deck, creating storyboards and designing the user interface with CAD models, testing and reviewing them on short deadlines. Collaborating cross-continentally, Suraj worked in conjunction with members of Galaxy FCT’s staff and representatives from the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab in Paris to get the job done.&nbsp;



Aside from working with start-ups in the lab, Kamble also mentors the interns, a job he’s well suited for seeing as he started out as one. Mentoring has taught Kamble a bit about collaboration, but it’s also taught him a lot about himself. Naturally shy, he’s now coming out of his shell.&nbsp;



“In the beginning, I used to do my work all by myself, and I wasn’t interacting too much with other people,” he said. “But then, once I started to train the interns and mentor them and teach them something new, I opened up a bit more.”&nbsp;&nbsp;



Kamble’s taken that newfound openness and is using it to get more young people excited about engineering. As part of his job, he goes to colleges in India to teach workshops about the lab and the Dassault Systèmes suite of technologies, and even to participate in hackathons. While Kamble was in college, he was introduced to SOLIDWORKS while working on an ATV racing team, ultimately competing and placing 6th in a national competition. 



But not all students in his home country, particularly in rural areas, have the same sort of opportunity that he did. So, in addition to doing outreach and traveling to schools, he also brings students to the lab so they can learn and interact with the tools he uses on a daily basis.&nbsp;



“You see a lot of jugaad projects coming out of these rural areas,” he explained. By bringing those innovators into a space that’s outfitted with enabling technology like SOLIDWORKS, CATIA and 3DEXCITE, he’s helping to usher in a new era of home-grown innovation.&nbsp;



Despite all the work he does with the lab’s start-ups and interns and with external students, Kamble still manages to find a bit of free time. Sometimes, he fills it by playing table tennis and working out at the gym. Other times, unsurprisingly, he fills it with engineering wonders.&nbsp;



He likes to make 3D-rendered art and participate in challenges and competitions where he showcases his work. Kamble produced a short animated video for a competition, and though he didn’t win, he was proud of the work he produced and remembers the experience as a learning opportunity.&nbsp;



He also did some work for the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab Open Codex Community, creating a virtual rendering of a drawing done by none other than Leonardo da Vinci. The rendering, a replica of a drawing of a human shoulder and arm, was featured in an exhibit at the Château du Clos Lucé in France.



“It was the best modeling job I’ve ever done,” he explained humbly.&nbsp;

      <![CDATA[ 
If you asked Fabio Crescenti five years ago if he believed he’d one day be helping a food tech company engineer solutions to make vertical farming possible and scalable, he might have laughed.



That’s because Crescenti’s background and PhD are in aerospace engineering.



After more than a decade of post-graduate studies, he found himself working as an Industry Process Consultant in Dassault Systèmes’ Business Development Hub. In his role, he helps match businesses with tailored solutions from our suite of technologies, identifying exactly what products will help them get the results they want.



But Crescenti’s work goes beyond his job description. He’s part of a cohort of mentors who volunteer their time and expertise to assist start-ups in the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab Accelerator program.



His introduction to the lab was almost by happenstance. One of the managers of the flagship lab in Paris happened to visit Cresencti’s office in Barcelona. But at the time, mentoring wasn’t meant to be for him.



“I discovered the lab in my first year (at the company), but I took some time to think about joining as a mentor, because I was still getting used to Dassault Systèmes in general,” he said.



But once he’d adjusted, he was ready to start mentoring and decided to ask about getting involved.



Piping up led to a meeting and, eventually, the opportunity to mentor a start-up. It took eight months until he was matched with one that needed his skills, but finally, the day came.



Now, he’s sharing his expertise with French food tech start-up Futura Gaia. They’re working on creating scalable vertical farms, promoting an agricultural future in which the same amount of produce that would ordinarily grow in a greenhouse could flourish anywhere, even in a tiny corner of an urban area. To do so, they needed Cresenti’s knowledge of computational fluid dynamics. He’s been working with one of their engineers to help him simulate the humidity and heat controls in the company’s modular vertical farms. Given how important these two aspects of farming are, being able to lean on an expert like Crescenti has been advantageous.



Futura Gaia, like other start-ups in the accelerator program, gets access not only to Dassault Systèmes solutions, like the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and SOLIDWORKS, but to the company’s mentors, too. Dozens of employees volunteer their time each year to provide support to early-stage companies with ambitions to change the world.



Crescenti’s first venture into mentoring was years ago, as a teaching assistant during his studies. Now, in addition to helping Futura Gaia, he also mentors his unit’s interns, who join the team for six months at a time. The experience has been transformative.



“For sure, it’s taught me a lot,” he explained. “When it comes to explaining things to others, you realize, first of all, maybe you’re convinced you know enough, but then you might find it’s not the case.”



Mentoring and teaching, he said, “helps you actually understand things better.”



Since Crescenti’s unit in the company works specifically with start-ups, his mentorship with the lab almost comes naturally. He’s familiar with the big ideas and agility that these early-stage companies are known for, but there have been some surprising things, too.



Sometimes, the start-ups he encounters “bring these crazy ideas, usually at the limit of physics.”



Bigger companies, he explained, “just ask for traditional things.” They have a problem and want a solution they know will work. But sometimes start-ups want ground-breaking innovation, and it’s Crescenti’s job to help them uncover it.



“For me, it’s very stimulating, researching, trying to investigate, looking for new things,” to solve their problems, he said. This aspect of mentoring has added a new layer of excitement to&nbsp; Crescenti’s work.



The experience has provided him with a new outlook on his work and a new approach he’s happy to take.



Outside of work, he enjoys basking in the Barcelona sun. After having completed his PhD in the UK, he was glad to join Dassault Systèmes in Spain, a sunny respite after years of dreary British skies.



Fabio Crescenti is part of a cohort of Dassault Systèmes employees lending their knowledge to ground-breaking start-ups. Check out how some of his other colleagues are driving progress.

      <![CDATA[ Get to know Xavier Fouger, the Learning Centers and Programs Senior Director here at Dassault Systèmes.
 ]]>
      </description>
      <content:encoded>
      <![CDATA[ 
Most of us don’t determine our life’s work at seven years old. But for Xavier Fouger, a trip to Paris to visit his grandparents at that age charted the course of the next nearly four decades of his life.



“We were walking near Dassault Aviation by my grandparents&#8217; house. Everyone associated with the company was kind, and it held an excellent reputation,” Fouger recalls. “As we passed by, my grandfather lifted me over the wall to see the full extent of the operation where all the engineers were working. After setting me down, he looked at me and said, ‘You should work here one day.’”



That moment, combined with what he describes as the “social push in France” to pursue engineering if you excelled in mathematics, set him on a clear path to fulfilling his grandfather’s wish—but with a spin that was completely his own.



Fouger didn’t join Dassault Aviation. He did join Dassault Systèmes in 1990, which spun out of the leading French aerospace company with the mission of becoming the industry benchmark in computer-aided design.&nbsp;Though he began his career in engineering as his grandfather hoped, he went a step further and branched into education, becoming an “educational engineer,” as he calls himself. Fouger currently serves as Senior Director of Global Academia Programs, where he builds programs, solutions and communities that will equip the next generation with the skills needed to excel in engineering.



Fouger’s evolution from engineer to educational engineer has given him a front-row seat to the changing nature of education.



“We’ve moved from an era where professors were the primary sources of knowledge to a time when they serve more as facilitators for students who now access multiple learning channels,” he said. “Not only has their role changed, but the decreasing attention spans of modern learners have driven changes in educational strategies. We’re in a time where more dynamic and interactive teaching methods are required.”



Fouger is at the forefront of innovation in training methodologies, adapting them to meet the needs of today’s world. And if his impressive 35-year career represents anything, it’s the true power of adaptability—and in many ways, it highlights Dassault Systèmes’ adaptable nature and resilience, too.



The key to longevity: Adaptability



The past 35 years have witnessed significant changes—from the rise of the internet and advancements in mobile technology to the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the evolution of learning methodologies that have helped the world adapt to these shifts. His long tenure at the company doesn’t just mean he’s observed firsthand the societal and technological changes affecting industries; he’s also seen how teams at Dassault Systèmes transformed themselves to adapt to those changes.



In the early days at Dassault Systèmes, Fouger focused on sales and customer relations within the automotive sector, helping to pioneer innovation in automotive design and manufacturing models. At that time, Dassault Systèmes was primarily a business-facing company rather than a customer-facing company, with a focus on third-party sales. “We rarely saw customers because most of them were indirect. It was an entirely different way of working than what we do now,” said Fouger.



As the years passed and Dassault Systèmes needed to adapt to changing needs, Dassault Systèmes’ distribution model underwent a significant transformation, breaking away from its third-party sales focus.



&#8220;For so many years we had established customers, partly due to our relationship with third parties,” noted Fouger. “But as times changed, we found ourselves needing to directly engage with new customers spanning different sectors. It was a major shift.”



Fouger described it as an “evolution for the company” because of all the plans and processes that needed to be put in place. “We needed to create a marketing department, we needed to create a sales department. We quickly realized that dealing with larger customers required us to sell value, not just ship a finished product in a box. We had to build long-term relationships,” said Fouger.



And that type of selling required a new skill set. Recognizing a skills gap among his colleagues, who were unfamiliar with the intricacies of the customer bases they were now directly engaging with, Fouger took the initiative to develop training programs. He started with training focused on the automotive industry, then expanded to other industries. Eventually, Fouger spearheaded collaborations with educational institutions, a key sector that can help close the skills gap early. Over time, this gradually became his full-time role.



Problem-based learning becomes the north star



As his involvement with universities deepened, his career shifted toward learning and development, where he has become a force in the education and training field. This led to a pivotal moment in his career: launching the 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence (CoE) in October of 2021.



The CoEs are a global network of educational facilities designed to enhance employability and innovation by providing training on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as well as opportunities to use it within specific business situations. CoEs provide students and professionals with the practical skills needed to adapt to the rapid pace of digital and sustainability transformations while building awareness about the new skills and processes required of the industry. Currently, there are 23 participating organizations across the globe, and they work jointly with employers to stay current about required skills and new methods and processes to succeed in the real world.



Students at a 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence 



For Fouger, perhaps the biggest shift in learning today is the importance of contextualizing learning: it can&#8217;t be done in siloes, and it shouldn&#8217;t be done alone. This is the model on which the CoEs are based.



“For engineers, it’s not only about solving technical problems with their knowledge but also about applying this knowledge within the context of the challenges they face,” he said. “About a decade ago, I became a strong advocate for a teaching method known as problem-based learning.”



Problem-based learning is a student-centered approach where students collaboratively solve open-ended problems, fostering practical engagement and critical thinking. This type of training emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and teamwork. &nbsp;As he notes, “It is important that individuals know how to use Dassault Systèmes software, but it is equally important to encourage collaboration between disciplines and teams. Collaboration is key.”



Not only does problem-based learning require collaboration, but it also helps develop leadership roles, improves critical thinking and analysis, and creates more innovative and dynamic thinkers. Aside from problem-based learning, Fouger also notes the transformative potential of AI in learning. AI’s role in enhancing decision-making at all levels is significant, although from Fouger’s point of view, full integration is still off on the horizon.



“I believe we will see a time where more and more people are empowered to make decisions based on a broader context, in part due to AI—and that will be a crucial shift,&#8221; he says. Fouger understands that learning methodologies will continue to evolve with new technologies and practices. “When it comes to AI, above all, educators will need to become providers of more authentic wisdom rather than procedural knowledge.” He is prepared to remain flexible and embrace these changes to keep pushing educational boundaries.



Seeing success in the next generation



Fouger’s career is impressive—spanning decades, he has remained at the forefront of innovation and methodologies needed to equip the next generation of engineers. However, it’s not his own success he would rave about if you asked him. Instead, he’d boast about seeing the students he’s interacted with over the years become successful in their own right.



“Back in 2005, I developed a learning program funded by the French government aimed at high school students,” recalls Fouger. “One of those students graduated and now works at Dassault Systèmes. It’s really fulfilling to see him succeed.”



Fouger can give countless examples of the success of his students and fellow educators. He recalls one CoE educator who wanted to take a different path from education and now works at Dassault Systèmes on the industry side. Fouger is just happy to see his people fulfilled in their careers, no matter what paths they take.



What the future holds



Fouger’s efforts in education have continued to expand, encompassing a broader range of participants and skill levels—from high schools and middle schools to vocational schools and continuing education for working professionals across the globe. He understands that adaptability is key, and he has big dreams for continuing to evolve the CoEs for the better. His vision is that one day, the CoEs will operate similarly to Apple stores, where the public can come in and explore Dassault Systèmes’ solutions and tools. He acknowledges that this goal is likely years away but notes that CoEs currently have showrooms that serve a similar purpose.



His long-term vision is focused on creating a large ecosystem involving policymakers, citizens and other stakeholders to foster a collaborative learning environment. He wants to break down silos and transform workers into strategic problem solvers.&nbsp;



Just as his grandfather once lifted him up to see the operations of Dassault Aviation in Paris, Fouger has lifted up those around him—with his vision and work building a future where learning and innovation break traditional boundaries and create a new generation of empowered individuals.

      <![CDATA[ Fabian Quintero’s work with start-up deltaVision has been eye-opening for him as an engineer. 
 ]]>
      </description>
      <content:encoded>
      <![CDATA[ 
In Fabian Quintero’s role as an Industry Process Consultant for SIMULIA at Dassault Systèmes, he mostly works with large companies. They’re for the most part enterprises with existing solutions looking to optimize existing processes. But as a mentor in the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, he’s rolling up his sleeves and working with small, young start-ups looking to bring fresh life into tried-and-true software.



deltaVision, which Quintero mentors in the lab, is a Munich-based fluid control systems start-up. They’re developing an orbital refueling system that aims to reduce waste in space exploration. To do so, they needed some expertise in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). deltaVision’s product manager who had previously worked at Dassault Systèmes, reached out directly to the SIMULIA team in Germany and ended up being matched with Quintero.



With a background in aerospace engineering and plenty of knowledge in CFD, Quintero was the perfect fit.



For him, the mentoring experience has been more than simply doling out guidance or troubleshooting assistance when needed. He’s been able to work alongside the deltaVision team in a more end-to-end role, providing a wide range of support.



At one point, Quintero explained, deltaVision was having an issue with the results of an experiment not aligning with what they expected them to be. To solve it, they consulted with Quintero. He guided them through the simulation process and how to compare it to the experiment, and also helped them understand how to optimize their testing process, streamline the data and ensure that the subjects of their tests matched the same subjects in the simulations.



His most memorable moment was a true feat of engineering.



“They did an experiment, and when they checked it after, they realized that a part of the experiment that hadn’t actually been included in the simulation was generating a deviation in the results,” Quintero said. “Because of that, they then understood that their experimental system wasn’t fully accurate, so they had to modify it so that it would be more reliable for the future, and that the trigger for realizing this came from our discussion.”



Overall, mentoring has been a rewarding experience. It’s created value for deltaVision, for sure, but for Quintero, too. Working with the start-up has provided a collaborative channel in which he can best understand the tools he uses and advises companies large and small on.



“Start-ups are really open to giving feedback that can improve some aspects of the tools,” he said. Using the information from those real-world experiences of users lends itself extremely well to making adjustments on the back-end.



If he had the bandwidth, Quintero said, he’d love to work with more start-ups. But as it is, he’s got his hands full, particularly with a five-month-old baby at home.



Fabian Quintero is part of a cohort of Dassault Systèmes employees lending their knowledge to ground-breaking start-ups. Check out how some of his other colleagues are driving progress.

      <![CDATA[ Get to know Claire Biot, the vice president of the Life Sciences and Healthcare Industry here at Dassault Systèmes. 
 ]]>
      </description>
      <content:encoded>
      <![CDATA[ 
In the era of Elon Musk, Steve Jobs and Stephen Hawking, names like Marie Curie and Louis Pasteur may not be top of mind when you think of innovators changing society. But, their impact remains immeasurable still today. Curie discovered polonium and radium and championed the use of radiation in medicine, earning a Nobel Prize in 1903 for her work. Pasteur, a French chemist, pharmacist, and microbiologist, is renowned for his research in vaccines and is credited with developing the first rabies vaccine in 1885.



A century ago, Curie and Pasteur could not have imagined the profound impact their work would have on the world—from the widespread use of X-rays in healthcare to the development of vaccines for treating and preventing diseases. They also could not have foreseen the inspiration they would provide to generations of innovators — scientists, medical professionals, and researchers — leading to even more groundbreaking work today. However, that inspiration is precisely what Claire Biot found in Curie and Pasteur.



“Pasteur was not only doing outstanding academic research but cared a lot about the applications of his findings to the real world, which is why we have the rabies vaccine,” said Biot. “This is what we would call translational medicine today, and it’s an important driver for me: not only doing exciting science, which is intellectually stimulating, but also improving the real world, which speaks to my heart.”



When it comes to Curie, it’s her resilience and passion for innovation that inspired Biot.



“Marie Curie had a challenging childhood, it was very difficult for her to get access to advanced education, but she never gave up, she found her way through,” Biot said. “She taught us courage and resilience. And she had a brilliant mind. Creativity and serendipity fueled her solid scientific foundation.”



Biot added: “When I’m thinking about these 2 great scientists, this also brings to my mind Katalin Kariko, very recent Nobel Laureate in 2023 for her work on mRNA vaccines within Academia but also at BioNTech. She comes with the same dedication to real world application of her academic research than Pasteur and with the same difficult childhood, courage and resilience than Marie Curie!”



As Dassault Systèmes&#8217; Vice President of the Life Sciences &amp; Healthcare Industry, Biot has a relentless curiosity for the unknown. Her career has focused on breaking down silos in healthcare and fostering collaboration to improve the lives of both patients and medical professionals.



The power of virtual twins – and collaboration



“Every minute counts” is how Biot felt when the pandemic hit in 2020, a year after she’d joined Dassault Systèmes, and it only fueled her passion for collaboration and curiosity to solve some of the world’s most pressing challenges. “For me, healthcare has always been this very stimulating sector where the purpose and need are obvious, and the way to get there is intellectually stimulating,” said Biot. “I would say that COVID made it even more obvious, because the world stopped until diagnostic tests and vaccines were made available.”



The impact of the coronavirus was felt around the world, and drivers in healthcare were vastly accelerated. From the move toward patient autonomy to access to life-saving vaccines and the shift toward clinical trials taking place in patients&#8217; homes or via telehealth – the industry changed significantly. Biot and Dassault Systèmes led many of the changes – from fully digitizing most vaccine trials in record time, to repurposing ventilators for multiple patients at once. For Biot, the commitment to supporting Dassault Systèmes customers during the pandemic was paramount.



Navigating the pandemic was something Biot was thrust into, but since joining Dassault Systèmes, her primary focus has been on the development of virtual twins—a scientifically accurate digital duplicate of a real-world object—to help advocate for the future of personalized healthcare.



&#8220;When I was in school, I had a teacher ask me if I cared about curing patients or if I cared more about understanding why they are sick,” said Biot. “They are interconnected, but I realized that I cared more about understanding why they are sick so others could help cure them. That’s part of the reason I’m at Dassault Systèmes.&#8221;



Biot’s interest in virtual twins blossomed when she joined Dassault Systèmes. &#8220;The first example I had of virtual twins was actually with car manufacturers,” Biot explained. “They use virtual twins to simulate crash scenarios. It saves time, it saves resources, and it allows them to explore more possibilities. And in healthcare, that’s what we want to achieve.”



Virtual twins in healthcare hold vast potential, and Dassault Systèmes is leading the innovation wave with The Living Heart Project, which Biot points to as a prime example of the power virtual twins can have in diagnosis and treatment.



The Living Heart Project aims to create realistic digital simulations of the human heart to improve cardiovascular care and research. The project leverages the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to model and simulate the heart&#8217;s behavior, enabling medical professionals to study its function and test treatments in a virtual environment.



For Biot, the collaborative focus of The Living Heart Project – which has been replicated for other organs, like the brain and eyes – is where the magic happens.



&#8220;Collaboration is key. Take cardiac disease, for example. It’s a disease, so there are doctors, surgeons, and cardiologists who are going to look after the patient. Radiologists are involved too, because they need to take MRI or CT scans to help evaluate the disease,” Biot explained. “But at the same time, your heart is a pump, and it’s also about fluid dynamics and electromechanics, and you need someone knowledgeable in math. Some doctors may need more support to fully understand the calculations. The point being, there are a lot of different disciplines that can now collaborate on a virtual twin to help find the right treatment.&#8221;



Biot&#8217;s projects are not just focused on assisting doctors and medical professionals with treatment options and diagnoses; they also aim to improve the patient experience. One such project is VORTHEx, a collaboration between the Hartmann Institute of Radiology and Dassault Systèmes, designed to help patients undergoing cancer treatments. The primary goal of the project is to help patients feel more comfortable with their treatment by providing a virtual experience that reconstructs all the technical and protocol components of the treatment in 3D.



“As soon as patients learn they will undergo radiotherapy, they can use a VR headset to explore the treatment room and the control room,” Biot said. “This immersive experience educates patients about the equipment and simulates the sensations of the treatment, including the robot&#8217;s movements and its loud sound.” &nbsp;



All of this innovation helps improve the patient experience, as many have anxiety when it comes to treatment.



“I may be an executive working in healthcare, but I’ve also been a patient,” Biot said. “Being a patient in a siloed environment like healthcare and without much knowledge of the technology being used can be intimidating.” &nbsp;



Fulfilling her curiosity in healthcare



Biot’s path in life can be defined by an innate curiosity to learn about the unknown. Her path to building a more equitable healthcare system didn’t start when she joined Dassault Systèmes; it began much earlier in her life, and really exploded when she attended École Polytechnique, a leading French institution that combines top-level research, academics, and innovation.



“As the name would suggest, the focus was on “Poly-techniques”, which means multiple disciplines,” she said. “They want you to explore different areas because they believe that a good brain is one that has the ability to stretch from one discipline to the next, and that real innovation takes place at the boundaries of those different disciplines.”



Biot didn’t have healthcare on her mind at first – when she began her studies, she wanted to become an astrophysicist. “I thought it was super cool to understand why the planet Earth arose. What happened at the Big Bang? What more could we find out? What other planets are out there?”



But the “aha moment” in her life – the realization of what she wanted to focus on – took place when she attended a life sciences class.



“I realized I wanted to build my career around innovation in life sciences and healthcare. It’s very exciting and fast-paced, from the discovery of DNA to genomics sequencing, to vaccines, and so much more,” said Biot. “The space changes so quickly. Life sciences today are not what they were 10 years ago, or what they will be 20 years from now, and I find that very stimulating from an intellectual standpoint. Plus it’s highly connected to applications to the daily life – the real world – finding new cures for patients. So it speaks to my heart.”



Giving back and looking ahead



Today, Biot is continuing to channel her passion and inspiring future generations, much like Curie and Pasteur did for her.Biot is an executive sponsor of Rise Up, a leadership development program at Dassault Systèmes.



Each year, about 100 Dassault Systèmes employees are selected to join Rise Up. They come from all over the globe and work in different functions within the organization. “It’s a 10-month program where they go through self-assessment, define their own leadership style, receive mentorship, and more. It’s incredibly exciting to help foster that each year,&#8221; Biot explained.



It&#8217;s not just the mentorship Biot enjoys, but the self-reflection too.



&#8220;I love the notion of giving back more and more and really enjoy guiding young leaders. You learn so much,” she said. “It seems like you look at yourself in the mirror when you listen to them to some extent. It gives you this notion that you’re not alone, and that you have a cohort of people who have the same goals.&#8221;



As for what’s next for Biot? It&#8217;s all about staying curious and learning.&nbsp;She currently sits on the board of Mauna Kea Technologies, which provides real-time visualization of cellular structures, at the microscopic scale, enabling physicians to make informed decisions across various medical specialties.



&#8220;It’s a very exciting project for me,” Biot said. “I support them with their go-to-market strategy and thinking through how to embed more AI systems into their functionality because they collect so many images. It gives me a different perspective on business models.&#8221;



Biot has dedicated her life’s work to improving healthcare, both for patients and medical staff. &#8220;If I had to boil my hope for the world into one sentence, it would be to achieve sustainable healthcare for all, with enjoyable working conditions for healthcare professionals.&#8221;
