KP Reddy, founder of RCMS Group and former Vice President of BIM Services for American Reprographics Co (ARC), departs ARC to pursue new opportunity

I just learned about this, so consider this “breaking news”. KP’s last day at ARC was this past Friday. As I understand it, Dilo and Suri were very supportive of KP’s decision to pursue other opportunities.

The first time I met KP Reddy was right after he gave a presentation – about BIM – at the IRgA Convention held in Pittsburgh. Only several months later, KP sold RCMS Group to ARC. That transaction took place in September 2009.

New Year brings new direction for KP. I don’t yet know what new opportunity KP has decided to pursue, but I wish him the best of luck and success with whatever it is he’s decided to do. He’s definitely one of the smartest individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure of getting to know.

For those of you who are not aware of this, KP’s book – “BIM for Building Owners and Developers: Making a Business Case for Using BIM on Projects” - is now for sale on Amazon.com

The following information comes from KP Reddy’s profile on LinkedIn:
