IKE Appoints Brett Willitt as SVP Product Management
Former President of SPIDA Software and one of the foremost structural analysis experts
in the U.S.

IKE is pleased to announce that it has appointed Brett Willitt as its SVP of Product Management,
to be based in the company’s United States operation.
Brett has a range of experiences directly relevant to the market and core customers that IKE
addresses. Brett is the former President of structural analysis and structure management
software company SPIDA Software (SPIDA). SPIDA was acquired by NASDAQ listed Bentley
Systems Inc. in 2021, where Brett subsequently led segments of Bentley’s’ distribution network
software initiative. Prior to his tenures at Bentley Systems and at SPIDA Software, Brett held
other prominent positions in the energy industry, including Product Engineering Manager at
national engineering group Osmose Utilities Services and Joint-Use product manager at
FirstEnergy Utility. Brett began his career as a network planning engineer for Verizon. Overall, he
has more than 25 years of experience in building technology solutions for the North American
communications and electric utility sectors, with a focus on Outside Plant and Joint Use
infrastructure, which are the core applications for IKE’s product suite. He holds a BS in Civil
Engineering from Clarkson University.
IKE CEO Glenn Milnes commented, "We have known and admired Brett and SPIDA, who our
PoleForeman product competes with directly, for many years. As such we are very excited to
welcome his deep domain expertise into our company where he will work alongside myself and
our US-centred leadership team. As noted, Brett’s experiences are uniquely matched to IKE’s
product suite, our industry, and our growth goals.”
Brett Willitt added “My decision to join IKE was fuelled by the profound belief that utility poles and
overhead infrastructure is at a critical juncture across the North American landscape. I believe
the market opportunity in front of IKE is enormous given the company’s strategy, product
position, and growth momentum. With a real sense of excitement and anticipation I’m eager and
determined to help propel IKE to further new heights.”
