Michael Leach

Head of Product

nTopology

Michael Leach is the head of product at nTopology - a company building a generative, function-based engineering application at the intersection of CAD, simulation, and industrial manufacturing. After teaching students at Yale how to break 3D modeling software in order to create architecture, he got the opportunity to work with like-minded engineers building the next generation of CAD software. With a degree in aerospace engineering and a masters in architecture, creating design tools for geometry-obsessed engineers making high-performance parts was a natural step. When he’s not trying to reverse the engineering design process, he can be found in Brooklyn going to rock shows and his favorite pizzerias.
