After more than 15 years of working as the Country Manager of India for SolidCAM, Amod Onkar joins ModuleWorks as the new Global Head of Marketing. With over 25 years of experience in CAD/CAM and CNC machining, Amod brings an impressive track record of strategic business development, team leadership, and industry innovation to his new role.
Amod played a pivotal role in shaping the CAM landscape in India. Under his leadership, SolidCAM grew from having just two customers to over 1,200, consistently achieving a year-over-year growth rate of 20% in the past five years. He built and managed a high-performance team of 72 engineers and sales professionals across multiple locations while spearheading technical advancements in 3- and 5-axis milling. His extensive experience includes integrating ModuleWorks’ toolpath engines into SolidCAM products, a testament to his deep understanding of the technology that drives advanced machining solutions.
Beyond business development, Amod is known for his ability to foster innovation, build global training programs, and scale technical teams. His experience in product strategy, global market expansion, and reseller network development will be instrumental in shaping ModuleWorks’ future marketing efforts.
The company’s decision has been made in light of several years of successful cooperation:
“I have known Amod for the past 20 years and could appreciate his work the whole time, especially his deep knowledge of CAM”, says Yavuz Murtezaoglu, Managing Director and founder of ModuleWorks.
Years of cooperation have also provided the basis for a further cooperation in terms of employment at ModuleWorks.
“His personality made me confident that he can understand and match the spirit of ModuleWorks, our DNA so to say”, explains Yavuz further.
With more than 30 years of experience and after his successful introduction to the Marketing department, the challenge of developing a new innovative Marketing strategy lies ahead.
“I am hopeful that Amod with his experience in the CAM industry and understanding of strategic Marketing is going to bring ModuleWorks and its products one step further – and help us all to get there faster”, closes Yavuz.
