I’m delighted to welcome Shelly Blackburn to Autodesk as our new Senior Vice President, Global Sales, effective 1 September 2026.  We have a tremendous opportunity ahead of us. Our customers are navigating increasingly complex technology environments while looking for simpler ways to work, innovate, and grow. Autodesk is uniquely positioned to help, bringing more of their workflows together through connected solutions, our platform architecture, and AI. Our job is to turn that opportunity into real customer value, and Shelly will play an important role in helping us do that.  Shelly is a customer-first leader with deep experience building and scaling large sales organisations. She leads our Global Sales organization and her focus is clear: stay close to our customers, help them simplify fragmented digital environments, accelerate adoption of Autodesk’s platform-based solutions, and remove the friction that gets in the way of innovation. Our opportunity is to help customers get more value from the technology they use, connect more of their work, and move faster.  Shelly brings more than 25 years of experience leading sales and go-to-market organisations. Most recently, she served as Corporate Vice President for Microsoft’s Azure Infrastructure and Digital Applications business. Before Microsoft, she spent more than two decades at Cisco Systems, most recently leading its Global Cybersecurity commercial sales business.  I’m excited to have Shelly on the team. Her experience, customer focus, and track record of execution will help us serve our customers better, scale our sales organisation, and capture more of the significant growth opportunity ahead.
