Independent digital engineering research company Centre for Modelling and Simulation (CFMS) has appointed Sam Paice as its new chief executive.
Ms Paice has been promoted from her previous role of chief operating officer after 10 years with the Bristol-based organisation, which helps firms including aerospace giant Airbus create better solutions for new more sustainable products.
The move comes following a restructure of CFMS' senior leadership structure, as chief technology officer Professor Ian Risk also announced he will retire in July after a 40-year career in the aerospace sector and five years with the group.
