AVEVA's Chairperson, Peter Herweck, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the expansion of the board as a crucial step in accelerating AVEVA's SaaS strategy and penetrating high-growth markets. He stressed the significance of the new directors' expertise in engineering and design software, as well as their extensive experience operating in global markets, particularly in Asia.
