Brian is a natural fit for our organization and vision, and we look forward to the many benefits he brings to our growing customer base.”

Wilson says, “Comet is emerging as a key player within the world of simulation-led new product development. After a thorough investigation of Comet’s unique approach to CAE engineering, it was apparent to me that we share a common interest of putting advanced tools and technology in the hands of designers and analysts. I am excited to add my experience with that of Comet to further automate and streamline drivetrain-development processes.”
