Publicly traded, Budapest-based Graphisoft, creator of the 3-D architectural design product ArchiCAD, has shaken up its upper echelon management in a course change aimed at going after the international architectural, engineering and construction market more aggressively.
After a two year run, Ray Small was replaced as CEO by Dominic Gallello on Sept. 16. Gallello says "There will be dynamic changes. We want to exploit 3D in the AEC market. Many architects are still not using 3D, and more construction firms want to adopt or expand their design-and-build capabilities to cut down costs and give them pricing advantages. The design-and-build trend is very important. Job One is to raise the profile of the company in the worldwide market."
