White brings over 20 years of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) experience to the Duro team. In this role, White will be responsible for ensuring the company\u2019s product roadmap is in line with the current and future needs of customers and the market. This announcement comes after Duro\u2019s successful seed financing of $4 million in November.<\/p><p>\u201cJames\u2019s deep industry expertise on all things PLM will be a vital asset to Duro, especially when it comes to what\u2019s worked historically, what hasn\u2019t, and what unique opportunities there are specific to Duro that we can pursue,\u201d said Michael Corr, CEO of Duro. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to have such a visionary product leader join us in our mission to agilize hardware development.\u201d<\/p><p>Prior to Duro, White has held numerous senior positions responsible for taking new disruptive products to market. After initially starting his career in special purpose machine design, White worked for leading CAD\/CAE\/PLM solution companies across global industries such as Automotive, Aerospace and Defense, CPG, and Medical Devices.<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019ve been watching Duro since its market debut and have been impressed with the company\u2019s approach to focus on the needs of hardware manufacturers. Unlike most PLM systems that orbit around mechanical CAD, Duro is unbiased to any specific CAD tool or Platform technology to truly optimize today\u2019s complex engineering design processes,\u201d said White. \u201cI\u2019m excited to join a company that is removing the friction that comes with product development so that a new era of disruptive hardware innovation can take place.\u201d To learn more about Duro, visit\u00a0<a class=\"ww_lnktrkr\" href=\"http:\/\/durolabs.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.durolabs.co<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11c2cd68 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"11c2cd68\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">About Duro<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-387a872c post-text-block elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"387a872c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"inner wysiwyg\" data-v-3ef3205d=\"\"><p>Duro is an enterprise cloud data management platform that is empowering the next generation of hardware teams in the era of agile development.
