Nemetschek AG Hires Gray Holland as ‘Chief Design Officer’
 MUNICH,
Germany, May 28, 2009 - Nemetschek Allplan, the leading European
provider of architecture and engineering software, appointed Gray Holland as
Chief Design Officer (CDO) on May 1, 2009. In the newly created position,
the US-born designer will be responsible for software design and the
consumer experience. This will include user guidance and the software’s ease
of use through to every touch point of the Allplan brand.
 Gray Holland has more than 20 years’ experience in automotive, product
and software design. Most recently, he was head of the Alchemy Labs design
studio in San Francisco, where he worked for customers such as Disney,
Seiko, Procter & Gamble, Autodesk, Hewlett Packard and BMW, among others.
After completing his degree, he worked for a number of years as a car
designer at General Motors. He was one of the pioneers in the area of
three-dimensional, computer-aided industrial design. Gray Holland studied
design at the Art Center College for Design in Pasadena, and physics and
mathematics in Los Angeles.
Until his recent move to Munich, he has been professor at the California
Center for the Arts in San Francisco teaching digital design process.
“With Gray Holland, we are putting user friendliness and the quality of
the user interface at the core of our product development. In times of
increasingly complex work processes, this is the key to more efficiency in
the planning of buildings”, states Peter Mehlstäubler, CEO and managing
director of Nemetschek Allplan.
