Why do you do the work you do? <\/strong><br \/> I got into the sustainability world because I have a deep-seated appreciation for nature and maintaining the planet we live on. I also have a love for business, for creating enterprises and real competitive advantages. The intersection of those two worlds is really interesting. How can we create good business while creating business that\u2019s good?<\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. What is your proudest career moment? <\/strong><br \/> I\u2019d have to say joining SolidWorks is right up there. I started out post-MBA teaching companies how to create sustainable innovation, and when SolidWorks approached me I saw an opportunity to create great solutions on a much larger scale instead of going one-to-one with individual companies. I\u2019m just as excited for the opportunity as I was on day one. SolidWorks is leading the market in sustainability and I get to be one of the drivers. Outside of SolidWorks, I guess I would say guest lecturing for Hunter Lovins at the Presidio Graduate School was a real honor. Hunter Lovins wrote Natural Capitalism, which is the bible of sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. What goal inspires you most?<\/strong><br \/> I\u2019m inspired by creating an economy that is neutral or restorative in its impact on the environment.<\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. How has SolidWorks made a difference in your life? <\/strong><br \/> It has given me a broader platform to act on my convictions and allowed me to bring my personal values to work.<\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Who\u2019s your favorite athlete and why?<\/strong><br \/> Kirby Puckett. I grew up in Minnesota, watching him play at the Metrodome. It always seemed like he was having a blast. I think that\u2019s so important \u2013 to enjoy what you do so much that you bring joy to the people around you.<\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/6a00d83451706569e20133f4c6c573970b.jpg\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Asheen phansey 5Qf\" border=\"0\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451706569e20133f4c6c573970b image-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/6a00d83451706569e20133f4c6c573970b-800wi.jpg\" title=\"Asheen phansey 5Qf\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name: Asheen Phansey Title: Product Manager for SolidWorks Sustainability Company: Dassault Systemes SolidWorks Corp. &#0160; 1.
