Autodesk Chief Information Officer Mike Kelly.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

I\u2019m very pleased to announce Mike Kelly as our new Chief Information Officer (CIO), effective April 13, 2026. As Autodesk prepares for its next chapter of growth, AI is reshaping how enterprises operate, and we are moving proactively to lead in that moment.
