Jim Lynch, SVP and GM of Autodesk Construction, has announced his retirement following a successful 28 years at the company where he led the transformation of Autodesk Construction. Lynch will serve in his current role until April 1, 2025. \u201cJim has had an immeasurable impact on Autodesk and the construction industry at large. From his early contributions establishing Revit as a core part of AEC to his leadership in building out our construction business, he\u2019s shaped Autodesk\u2019s success,\u201d said Andrew Anagnost, President and CEO of Autodesk. \u201cUnder his leadership, Autodesk Construction set new benchmarks for collaboration and innovation, helping our customers around the world to achieve their business goals. We are grateful for Jim\u2019s vision, dedication, and impact and wish him the very best in his retirement.\u201d To ensure a seamless transition, Amy Bunszel, Autodesk\u2019s EVP of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Solutions, will lead Autodesk Construction following Lynch\u2019s retirement. Bunszel has over 14 years of leadership experience in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. \u201cWe remain committed to delivering value to our construction customers and making construction Autodesk\u2019s next billion-dollar business,\u201d said Anagnost. \u201cAmy Bunszel has deep expertise across the AEC industry and is a natural fit to lead the Autodesk Construction business forward.\u201d Lynch joined Autodesk in 1997 and has led the Autodesk Construction business for the last seven years. His accomplishments in this role include building the half a billion-dollar business and launching Autodesk Construction Cloud. \u201cLeading the Autodesk Construction business has been the highlight of an amazing 28-year career at Autodesk,\u201d said Lynch. \u201cI\u2019m proud of the people I had the joy of working alongside, our contributions to the construction industry, and the achievements of our customers to build a better world. While I look forward to this next chapter, I cherish my time at Autodesk and will remain deeply invested in the future of construction.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
