She organized the first Fly Through presentation in a 3D Aircraft Digital Mock Up and emphasized the need of Virtual Reality especially for pre-sales customer experience. She then moved to the Los Angeles area and, as the Aerospace Business Development Manager for Dassault Systemes of America, worked on defining new strategic solutions using all Dassault Systemes products within the global Aerospace Market, which,  at that time was one of the main focus area for Dassault Systemes. She developed, marketed new innovative solutions and helped many OEMs and suppliers implement them for further profitability. She emphasized the need of 3D and digital data use at all levels for enhanced performance within the Airline industry. She worked on projects for Space and Satellites and assisted teams, within Dassault Systemes, working with other industries.
