Infrastructure innovation
Nathan Marsh shares how Bentley Systems ’ software solutions are advancing infrastructure
Several years ago , I spent seven years in the military . My final three or four deployments were focused on post-conflict , regional regeneration ,” begins Nathan Marsh , SVP of EMEA , Bentley Systems ( Bentley ). “ This exposure piqued my interest in the importance of infrastructure for a safe , secure , sustainable and prosperous society . “ After I left the military , I worked for a global insurance and risk manager , that provides insurance and risk management solutions within the infrastructure industry . I was then lucky enough to be asked to join a Big 4 consultancy . I was in their advisory and then corporate finance business , designing investment programs for infrastructure . I ended up setting up and running their smart cities business in the UK and Europe . After almost ten years there , I was headhunted by a global engineering consultancy , and again focused on smart infrastructure , before being invited to join the Executive Management of a UK Tier 1 construction company . I was their first ever CDO , focused on technology in infrastructure .
“ Following that , I joined a global majorprogram advisory business , and more recently , worked for a private equity fund investing in infrastructure . It was at that point that I went to see Bentley to discuss the market , and was then , very flatteringly , asked to join them . So , the culmination of a career in infrastructure has resulted in partnering with infrastructure professionals and leveraging data to improve industry performance , which is a great place to be .”
