After 28 years in Autodesk, including the last six as Senior Vice President and General Director of Autodesk Construction Solutions, Jim Lynch has said that he will withdraw from architecture, the engineering and construction software provider from April 1 and deliver the group’s reins to the executive vice president of AEC Solutions, Amy Bunszel.
The company’s construction products, such as Autodesk Construction Cloud, will return to the management of a person instead of distributing by divisions. Bunszel has previously directed the development of main Autodesk design tools such as Revit, Autocad and the Forma Cloud Design Platform.
In a discussion of the changes he has seen in the industry during his long duration, Lynch said he believes that this is the right time for the construction and design that can be handled under the same roof on the giant of the software.
“Contractors have really matured in terms of their interest and adoption of digital technology,” he said, emphasizing that there are still more things to do. “We have scratched the surface, but they succeed. They understand that to maximize, to get the most out of the technology to promote better results, in terms of predictability, in terms of security and sustainability, they understand the need to modify some of their processes and how they receive information and how they treat this information and how they collaborate.”
Lynch said he does not plan to leave the AEC software space completely after April 1.
“I will continue to commit,” he says. “I plan to make some queries, I have a concert aligned. I will probably register for three or four [corporate] Boards for construction technology startups. I plan to keep me near the industry and the leaders there. I think I can help the industry continue to move forward. “”
