Snepvangers joined RTT USA Inc as Chief Executive Officer in 2003 to
build the US operations of Realtime Technologies AG. In early 2005,
Snepvangers officially established RTT USA, Inc. as a wholly owned
subsidiary of RTT AG with the opening of the company's Pasadena office.
Snepvangers is responsible for coordinating client teams in cooperation
with the COO to provide software and support to maximize their return
on investment using RTT's class leading 3D visualization solutions.
Prior to joining RTT, Snepvangers served as CRM Sales Director for
Urban Science Applications Inc., a global management consultancy. In
this capacity, Snepvangers provided counsel to automotive clients,
established Urban Sciences Netherlands office, and led the U.S.-based
sales and marketing efforts surrounding a new CRM software product line
for financial institutions.

Heiko Wenczel, Mackevision began
his post-graduate career as an architect for Mercedes Benz where he
participated in the planning and visualization of projects within the
plant. It was in this capacity that he realized that perfect data well
organized within a system seemed to be the key to efficient
work.Turning his attention from plant processes to the product, Heiko
joined an extraordinary team focused on finding a way to build a
comprehensive visual configuration system for the Mercedes fleet; this
would be the first of its kind, showing all configurable aspects of
each vehicle. During this process he again realized the importance of
perfect data; photo-realistic image quality could only be achieved
utilizing a perfect database. To that end, he generated a data
preparation process which could be used for all marketing needs within
the company.Team Visir was established as the central database for
visualization data, but their main goal had always been to create a new
configuration system with extraordinary image quality. Armed with their
innovations in data management, Heiko and his team joined forces with
MACKEVISION to create this new tool, which will be announced at the
CGAM Conference. Realizing the potential within that knowledge and
workflow for motion pictures, Heiko accepted a position with
MACKEVISION as Digital Division Manager and moved to Detroit, doing
business in the United States and thereby establishing MACKEVISION, USA
in the Motor City.
