Ron brings to ZELUS over 20 years of experience across both the design and construction industries having led teams in BIM/CAD modeling and project management at both Exyte (formally M+W Group) and Trimble. Ron will focus on helping the AEC industry leverage VDC to improve project performance and maximize project outcomes as ZELUS helps promote this advanced technology in the marketplace.
“Throughout my career, my mission has been to help organizations build better, smarter and faster achieving best in class quality” said Nauta. “This mindset is a natural fit with ZELUS. I look forward to helping our clients think about Building Information Modeling (BIM) in new and innovative ways.”
Prior to joining ZELUS, Ron served as the North American VDC Manager for Trimble MEP, in Westminster, CO where his attention was focused on growing a VDC team within Trimble to only prove success. Preceding Trimble Ron traveled throughout the US with M+W Group focusing his attention on leading VDC teams in the Semiconductor industry.
