The DiSTI Corporation has just appointed Jason Thagard as President, effective immediately. Thagard succeeds Joe Swinski, co-founder and long-serving President, who will transition to a strategic role as Vice Chairman on DiSTI’s Board of Directors.
Under Swinski’s leadership, DiSTI has grown from a startup to an established presence in the simulation and training market over the last three decades. Since its founding in 1994, DiSTI has delivered solutions to clients across aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, medical, and the defense industries.
Thagard brings over 25 years of experience in software development, project management, and strategic leadership. He holds both a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s from the University of Florida. Additionally, he is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and has been actively involved in various industry associations.
Prior to joining DiSTI, Thagard held key positions at several technology firms, where he was instrumental in driving growth and innovation. In his new role, he will oversee DiSTI’s operations, focusing on expanding the company’s market presence and enhancing its product offerings to meet the evolving needs of clients worldwide.
“His extensive experience and proven track record in the software industry make him the ideal leader to guide our company into its next phase of growth,” said Joe Swinski, outgoing President and newly appointed Vice Chairman of the Board.
Thagard expressed enthusiasm about his new role, stating, “Together, we will continue to drive the company’s success and contribute to the advancement of the software industry.”
