MEET OUR GUEST
Hari Sunderraj, Vice President of Sales, Autodesk
Hari leads Autodesk’s emerging business sales globally, focusing on high-growth areas including construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure. He brings a platform-first perspective on how data, AI, and automation can drive safer, more efficient, and more sustainable project delivery.
Rachel Tuller, Vice President, Global Channels, Autodesk
Rachel leads Autodesk’s global partner ecosystem and plays a key role in shaping how partners help customers adopt and scale connected construction solutions. With deep experience across industries, she brings a strong point of view on outcomes-driven transformation and the power of the platform.
The shift from point solutions to an integrated platform isn’t a technology problem—it’s a culture one. Connected construction only becomes real when organizations align leadership, teams, and mindset around shared data, shared outcomes, and a willingness to evolve how decisions get made.
There’s real power in the platformAI, automation, and connected data only deliver value when they work together as part of a unified platform. When data flows across design, build, and operations, teams stop reacting and start predicting—unlocking safer, faster, and more scalable outcomes powered by platforms like Autodesk.
Start with the why—and stay curiousThe most successful transformations begin by understanding real pain points, not by pushing tools. Leaders and partners who start with why, stay naturally curious, and learn from other industries are the ones turning innovation into repeatable, measurable impact.
