321 Gang - Newsletter - April - 2025

Welcome to April!

We’re rolling into spring with fresh energy after an inspiring time at the Dassault MBSE Symposium in Reno! It was great connecting with industry leaders and diving into the future of model-based systems engineering.

We’re also excited to welcome Jim Lyon to the Gang! Jim brings a wealth of experience and passion for engineering transformation—stay tuned to see the impact he’ll make.

The next few months are packed with events, conversations, and customer connections, and we couldn’t be more excited. We’ve been hitting the ground running, working closely with clients to drive innovation and solve complex challenges.

Thanks for being part of our community—we’ll see you out there!
