Future Facilities
Mark Seymour and I discuss the role of a CTO in a modern CFD company and how to frame your products/services in terms of the business benefits they deliver
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
