- As of April 2023 founder Keith Bentley will step down as Chief
Technology Officer to assume the role of Technology Advisor through
his anticipated retirement later in the year, and will continue
thereafter his service on Bentley Systems’ Board of Directors. His
successor as Chief Technology Officer will be Julien Moutte,
currently Vice President of Technology; and
- David Hollister, currently Chief Investment Officer, will
retire as of March 31, 2023. He was succeeded as Chief Financial
Officer by Werner Andre at the beginning of 2022.
CEO Greg Bentley said, “It is practically unique for any mature
software company to have had, for its lifetime, a chief inventor
who has also been its chief evangelist, both for the work of its
engineer users and developers. Bentley Systems was founded in 1984
to commercialize Keith Bentley’s software for infrastructure
engineering, and Keith’s contributions to the substance and
articulation of our work have never slowed down, culminating in our
market-leading iTwin Platform for infrastructure digital twins.
Keith has been working closely and continuously with Julien Moutte
over the past two years. Together they are committed to assuring
that iTwin benefits will extend to every one of our application and
cloud services users.”
Soon-to-be CTO Julien Moutte joined Bentley Systems as Vice
President of Technology in January 2021 from SAP, where he was head
of technology for SAP Marketing Cloud. Julien’s technical expertise
ranges from cloud operations and high availability platforms to
multimedia and mobile. He is an IT entrepreneur and investor and
during the past 15 years has launched more than 10 companies in
Europe and the United States. Based in Barcelona, Julien is fluent
in Spanish, English, and French, and in 1998 graduated in computer
science at Université Claude Bernard in Lyon, France. Julien worked
in startup ventures, and at SAP, with Bentley Systems’ Chief
Operating Officer Nicholas Cumins, to whom he reports.
Julien Moutte said, “Working with a visionary CTO like Keith
Bentley is a rare privilege and a humbling experience, which I have
enjoyed greatly for the past two years. Our iTwin Platform is
uniquely positioned to help us and our users advance infrastructure
for a world in dire need. I’m honored to succeed him, privileged to
continue benefiting from his wisdom, and as Bentley Systems’ CTO I
look forward to furthering his life’s work.”
David Hollister served as Bentley Systems’ CFO between 2007 and
2022. Greg Bentley said, “David Hollister has zealously and
adroitly stewarded our financial, portfolio development, and
investment activities, and our IPO in 2020 would not have been
possible without his drive and orchestration. I am further grateful
to David for having nurtured such a capable CFO successor, Werner
Andre, who has performed admirably over the past year. It is
difficult to imagine David ever ‘taking it easy,’ but along with
all his colleagues and Bentley Systems’ external constituencies, I
thank and congratulate him upon his retirement!”

Systems’ quarterly operating results presentation on February 28,
2023. To join the live Zoom video webinar of the event, please
