Jason Cloyd

Director, Global Academia Sales, SOLIDWORKS | Dassault Systemes SolidWorks Corp

A little about my career path: I spent the first several years of my career as a mechanical design engineer, working on crazy things like avalanche airbags, portable fuel cells, dog toys, cryogenic research equipment and even a liquid helium balloon. My love of customer relationships led me to sales, and I now lead the global sales team for SOLIDWORKS Academia and Early Engagement. 

Ask me about: I'm happy to chat about job readiness skills, life as an engineer, life as an entrepreneur, other things engineering degrees are good preparation for, etc. Also, I'm a card-carrying gear dork and love all things related to climbing, mountain biking, scuba diving, stand-up paddle boarding and a variety of other ridiculous activities.
