Garth Coleman

Garth Coleman is the CEO of Canvas GFX (Canvas Envision), a Boston-based manufacturing software company building tools that turn engineering data into interactive, 3D visual work instructions for frontline factory workers. A mechanical engineer by training with an MBA from Babson, he spent roughly 19 years at Dassault Systemes leading global strategy for 3D visualization, PLM, AR/VR, and generative AI before taking the top job at Canvas. He champions a 'connected knowledge' approach to manufacturing, arguing that the industry modernized its products and processes but left the people on the floor relying on static PDFs and printed checklists.
