PITTSBURGH, Nov. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS (NASDAQ:
ANSS) is strengthening its executive team and adding best-in-class
enterprise sales capabilities by appointing industry veteran
Rick Mahoney as its vice president
of worldwide sales and customer excellence.
Industry megatrends such as the Internet of Things (IoT),
additive manufacturing and machine learning are reshaping the
product landscape and creating unprecedented opportunities for
developing the devices of tomorrow. Engineering simulation enables
engineers to master the complexity inherent in these trends and
bring smarter and greener products to market.
ANSYS is bringing industry veteran Mahoney on board to help
organizations take advantage of these opportunities. With
simulation becoming an increasingly critical engineering capability
and companies continuing to standardize on one platform, Mahoney
brings deep expertise in selling enterprise-wide product
development solutions to multinational companies. His breadth of
experience will help continue to develop ANSYS' go-to-market
strategies across all customer segments.
Mahoney was most recently senior vice president of design
enablement and international sales at GlobalFoundries, where he led
a global engineering team and was responsible for multiple billions
of dollars in international sales. Prior to that, he had a long
career at Cadence Design Systems, starting as a software developer
and architect then eventually advancing to senior vice president of
worldwide field operations with responsibility for worldwide sales,
field application engineering, customer support and sales
operations. While there, he redesigned the major account sales
organization and increased worldwide revenue by double digits year
over year.
"ANSYS is perfectly positioned to help our customers take
advantage of trends like IoT and Industry 4.0, which are reshaping
product development, manufacturing and operations," said Ajei
Gopal, ANSYS president and chief operating officer. "Rick brings
the right combination of industry knowledge and demonstrated

He can both structure large win-win relationships as well as drive
go to market at scale."
"I've always admired ANSYS for its focus on customer success and
on producing the industry's best engineering simulation products,"
Mahoney said. "It's a passion I share as well, and I am thrilled to
join the executive team in Pittsburgh so I can be part of an organization
that helps companies transform the way they bring products to
market."
