\"\"<\/a> I am honored to lead this amazing company and to serve as your CEO. For 20 years, I\u2019ve watched Autodesk innovate and grow into the company it is today and I\u2019m proud of what we\u2019ve accomplished together. But our success isn\u2019t based on a single product, business strategy, or sales win\u2014it\u2019s a result of the collective efforts of all of you, our diverse and global team.\u00a0 With your passion, ideas, and skills, we are ready to grow in incredible new ways. Autodesk\u2019s history has been defined by periods of both product innovation and business execution. We began with a clear goal to transform how design was documented, brought 3D design to the broader market, and then became a respected technology leader. We were first to bring design to the cloud, to mobile, and to subscription\u2014and now we\u2019re bringing innovation to the world of making. The next era of Autodesk is not defined by product or business innovation\u2014but in their combination.\u00a0 We must excel at both, all in the service of our customers. To ensure their success, and ours, we will improve not only our product experience, but also our customer experience.\u00a0 And we will continue to deliver incredible tools that customers can use to make a better world.
