EP17 - Mark Seymour - Future Facilities

I'm joined in this episode by Mark Seymour, one of the founding team behind Future Facilities, a CFD company focused on the data centre & electronics cooling sectors. In addition to the origins, focus and growth of the company, we get to talk about Mark's role as the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) & what that entails in a modern CFD company. We discuss: • how to position your CFD product or service based on the business benefits it delivers to a customer — as opposed to just another feature-rich R&D tool; • why a CTO is more than just a senior engineer/developer & how the role changes as a company grows; • how Future Facilities’ offering has evolved to deliver value to non-engineering groups (for example, facilities management & operational teams) & how that impacts the way they talk about their products; • why he spends a large portion of his time working with sector-specific bodies/societies & what kinds of benefits they derive from that effort; Links Main Site – http://www.futurefacilities.com/ 6SigmaDCX CFD Package – http://www.6sigmadcx.com/
