Bentley Names Neethling Solutions Executive, Mining/Metals
 EXTON,
PA, Jan 21, 2009 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company
dedicated to providing comprehensive software solutions for the
infrastructure that sustains our world, has appointed Pieter Neethling to
the newly created position of solutions executive, mining and metals. In
this capacity, he is responsible for establishing an integrated suite of
software solutions and products that support the complexities of a mining
operation’s production and business planning process. In addition, Neethling
will identify new opportunities in the mining and metals processing market,
and provide Bentley’s sales colleagues with an in-depth understanding of
this business, enabling them to successfully support and expand the
company’s community of users in this growing field.
 Neethling
joins Bentley with more than 20 years of experience at leading mining
companies including Graphic Mining Solutions International (GMSI); Ensign
Bickford South Africa; Sasol Nitro, a division of Sasol Ltd.; and National
Explosives Ltd. He comes to Bentley from global gold producer AngloGold
Ashanti Ltd., where he served as IT manager, mineral resource management.
Neethling is based in Brisbane, Australia, and reports to Carey Mann,
Bentley’s vice president of solutions.
“Pieter’s long and successful career in mining and metals makes him the
ideal choice for enhancing Bentley’s presence in this important and
expanding field,” said Mann. “He has the knowledge and insight to identify
new opportunities and help Bentley deploy the most effective technical and
sales strategies – strategies that focus on Bentley’s ability to deliver
solutions and products that are innovative, of the highest quality, and
provide a great deal of value to our users.”
Mann continued, “There is critical need in the mining and metals sector
for comprehensive software solutions that span the entire mining lifecycle.
Bentley’s capacity to span the disciplines and business processes critical
to this field is unique. Bentley offers solutions for surveying, mapping,
tunneling, rail systems, roads, utilities, structural engineering, bulk
materials handling, processing plants, and more. We will increasingly offer
an end-to-end solution, from extraction of the ore to the processing of the
metal. Pieter’s appointment is a critical piece in our ability to fully
realize our vision.”
Neethling is a former member of the South African Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy, which supports its members’ needs for technological and
scientific knowledge of minerals and metals in South Africa. He is a
graduate of the School of Business Leadership, management development
program, at the University of South Africa and holds a metalliferous mining
engineering degree from Technikon Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.
The solution communities that Bentley serves include, in addition to
mining and metals, roads, bridges, rail and transit, campuses, factories,
buildings, power generation, oil and gas, water and wastewater, electric and
gas utilities, communications, and cadastre and land development.
