Ronald Bisio Senior Vice President, Field Systems

Ronald Bisio holds the position of Senior Vice President, Field Systems at Trimble.

Mark Schwartz Senior Vice President, AECO Software

Mark Schwartz is the Senior Vice President of AECO Software at Trimble. In this role, he oversees the development and implementation of software solutions for the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations sectors, focusing on digital transformation and operational efficiencies.

The rapid development and increasing market adoption of low-cost, AI-powered, sensor-fusion based mobile mapping and positioning systems. These solutions, often integrating advanced consumer-grade sensors (e.g., high-resolution cameras, inexpensive LiDAR, and inertial measurement units) with sophisticated simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms and artificial intelligence, are capable of generating highly accurate 3D spatial data and precise localization at a significantly lower cost and with greater speed than traditional dedicated surveying and mapping equipment. While not yet matching the absolute precision of Trimble’s highest-end solutions for all applications, they are becoming "good enough" for an expanding range of use cases in construction, asset management, indoor mapping, and rapid site documentation. This trend threatens to commoditize parts of Trimble’s hardware and software market, especially in the mid-to-lower precision segments, by offering more accessible and cost-effective alternatives, thereby attracting customers who prioritize speed and affordability over absolute survey-grade precision for certain tasks.
