“We are delighted that Filip has joined our executive management team to lead our test division,” said Dr. Urbain Vandeurzen, LMS Chairman and CEO. “The role of physical testing is changing dramatically as manufacturers seek to deliver higher quality, more reliable products to market faster than ever before. At the most advanced manufacturers, testing has become the key technology in reducing the number of prototypes and making the virtual product development process work. LMS acquisition and analysis tools are now used from pre-concept to design refinement and validation, for performance engineering of NVH and Durability and for providing the data that underpins virtual simulation. Mr. Pintelon is well suited to this leadership role in our organization.”
Rudi Weekers, President and Chief Operating Officer said “Filip’s proven track record of identifying critical issues, developing innovative strategies and building consensus in organizations lends additional strength to the growing LMS executive team.”
Mr. Pintelon is clear about his new role at LMS, “LMS has built an incredibly deep expertise in testing systems over the last 20 years – proven by its market leadership. My main goal will be to continue expanding the test offering by drawing from this vast technical expertise and providing even more solutions that deliver real added value to customers’ product development processes.”
Pintelon has had additional experience with Accenture where he designed IT systems and managed IT development teams. He holds a master’s degree in Mathematics/Informatics from the Catholic University of Leuven and obtained an MBA at the Vlerick Management School in Gent.
