Veteran standards-industry leaders join Accuris as engineering organizations move toward connected, multi-publisher digital workflows

DENVER, October 21, 2026--Accuris, a leading provider of Engineering and Supply Chain Intelligence solutions, today announced that Steve Holiday and Lesley West have joined the company, effective October 19, 2026. Both join Accuris from ASTM International and bring extensive experience spanning standards technology, product development, enterprise solutions and customer adoption.

Holiday has joined Accuris as Director, Standards Technology & Strategic Alliances, while West has joined as Director, Publisher Partnerships & Content Strategy.

Their appointments strengthen Accuris' ability to help standards development organizations and engineering enterprises respond to a fundamental shift in the market: from accessing standards as isolated documents and publisher-specific destinations toward authoritative content connected across publishers, engineering systems and digital workflows.

"Engineering teams do not work with one publisher, one document type or one system," said Claude Pumilia, CEO of Accuris. "They need authoritative knowledge connected across the full context of their work - from requirements and design through supply chain, production and compliance. Steve and Lesley understand both the standards ecosystem and the people who depend on it. Their experience will be invaluable as we build the next generation of connected Engineering Intelligence."

Advancing connected, actionable standards

West brings nearly three decades of experience at ASTM, most recently serving as Director of Product Management. She led product and platform-development initiatives supporting ASTM standards and related technical content, including the continued evolution of ASTM Compass®. West has also contributed to broader industry conversations around structured content, digital standards and the integration of standards into engineering systems and workflows.

"Standards users need more structured, connected and actionable information, and standards publishers recognize this and are committing to working and publishing in new ways," said West. "Passionate about this, I have spent much of my career helping advance that transition. I chose to join Accuris now, because its combination of authoritative content partnerships, multi-publisher breadth and workflow technology creates an extraordinary opportunity to work more closely with the publishers and make standards more valuable within the day-to-day work of engineers."
