“Throughout my career, my mission has been to help organizations build better, smarter and faster achieving best in class quality” said Nauta. “This mindset is a natural fit with ZELUS. I look forward to helping our clients think about Building Information Modeling (BIM) in new and innovative ways.”
Prior to joining ZELUS, Ron served as the North American VDC Manager for Trimble MEP, in Westminster, CO where his attention was focused on growing a VDC team within Trimble to only prove success.
