digital twin solutions are now integral to designing, building, and operating critical infrastructure
worldwide.

Cumins’ leadership begins at a crucial time for the infrastructure sector. The industry faces a shortage
of engineers necessary to meet global sustainability targets and adapt aging infrastructure to
withstand climate change. In his new role, Cumins aims to address these challenges by leveraging AI-
powered digital twin solutions to enhance infrastructure resilience.

“Infrastructure is at a watershed moment,” Cumins said. “Despite the massive capital investment in
infrastructure projects and jobs post-pandemic, much more remains to be done to make infrastructure
more resilient. Our ability to bridge that gap will determine the quality of life for future generations.
AI-powered digital twin solutions are reshaping the landscape, unlocking the value of data across the
infrastructure lifecycle.”

Bentley’s AI solutions are already revolutionizing asset monitoring, from roads and bridges to water
networks and telecommunications towers. Cumins emphasized the importance of these technologies:
“Every owner-operator in the world seeks a simpler, more effective way to understand the condition
of their assets. The power and possibilities of AI imply significant improvements in asset
performance and infrastructure resilience. This is our generation’s moment to apply ingenuity and
build upon our legacy of innovation to advance global infrastructure for a better quality of life.”

Before becoming CEO, Cumins served as Bentley Systems’ COO from January 2022 and as Chief
Product Officer since September 2020, prior to the company’s IPO. His extensive experience includes
roles as General Manager of SAP Marketing Cloud, Chief Product Officer of Scytl, and Senior Vice
President of Product at OpenX. Cumins, a dual French and U.S. citizen, is based in France.
