MEMBER SPOTLIGHT:
Bentley Systems
Another example of the company’s commitment to philanthropy is the STEM Grant, which is available to every colleague at Bentley and amounts to several hundred dollars per year. “You can take that grant and give it to an organization of your choice in a STEM field,” Boruchowitz said. “It’s Bentley’s way of investing in the next generation.”
HERE TO STAY
Despite Bentley’s global reach, its roots remain firmly in Chester County — and for good reason. “It’s a special place to work and be part of the business community,” said Boruchowitz. “There’s a real microcosm of industries here. You have agriculture, dairy, and we’re the Mushroom Capital of the World. Then you see major businesses like Bentley as well as small- and mid-sized ones, from pharmaceuticals to healthcare to tech and financial services. You get this wide breadth of sectors in a relatively small place.”
It also helps, he said, that Chester County is “the gold standard” when it comes to the quality of schools and beautiful green spaces for recreation. “No one could question Chester County’s potential and success, and it’s only going to keep getting better.”
In an effort to help Chester County’s business community succeed, Bentley has been involved in the Chester County Chamber of Business & Industry for years. “The Chamber has fantastic leadership, and I saw from day one the value and experience that everyone brought to the table,” said Boruchowitz,
who also serves on the Chamber’s Board of Directors. “We hope to see our relationship with the Chamber get even better as time goes on and Bentley continues to grow.”
That growth will likely see Bentley add many more colleagues and additional locations in the years to come, but the company will keep its roots in Chester County. As Boruchowitz said, “We’ve got a great place in Exton. It’s beautiful here.”
