“It’s been a great run and I am proud to have been part of six transformational years at Autodesk,” said Herren. “It has been a pleasure working with everybody at the company, growing an exceptionally talented finance organization and establishing a leadership position in design and make technology. With the transition to a SaaS business model now complete, I leave knowing Autodesk is well positioned for the future.”
Autodesk has initiated a selection process for a new chief financial officer. Fiscal third quarter 2021 results, which will be reported on November 24th, 2020, are expected to be above Autodesk’s guidance range across all Q3 guidance metrics. The company remains confident in its fiscal 2023 financial goals and the long-term potential from digitization across AEC, the convergence of design and make in manufacturing, and the monetization of non-compliant and legacy users.
