Meet DCS founder and newly appointed Chief Executive Officer
Even before DCS was founded in 1994, Mathieson and Ulicny had worked together, each having more than 30 plus years of experience in Dimensional Engineering. This solidified Mathieson's confidence that Ulicny would be a strong candidate for this role and able to continue moving DCS forward as he moves into the new role of CEO.
Mathieson said in a DCS' press release that Ulicny's industry experience and being part of DCS since the beginning, with his 30-plus years of experience in Dimensional Engineering, prepared him for this new role. Now that Sandvik has acquired DCS, Ulicny's role will be crucial in enhancing this connection and facilitating the metrology division's vision for unified digital manufacturing solutions.
“As I wrap things up at the end of the year, Mike Ulicny will be stepping into the role of company President,” said Mathieson. “I am certain that Mike and the entire DCS leadership team will continue to do a great job going forward.”
