Secretary of Defense Fellow, Zach Miller, is with us in the Autodesk Office of the CTO for a full year learning about how we explore, invent, and innovate and will be sharing some of his impressive experience in leadership and building infrastructure in demanding environments. Over the last 19 years, Zach has served in a number of command and staff assignments, including four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most recently, he was a battalion commander in the 101st Airborne Division where he led a 1,700 person task force in eastern Afghanistan. His command was responsible for the security of Parwan Province and Bagram Airfield, the largest base in the country and home to over 18,000 people. Zach is exploring possible projects as he gets up to speed on Autodesk and meets as many folks as possible. We are thrilled to have Zach join us. To get to know more about us, Zach visited our BUILD Space in Boston. We have Pier 9 in San Francisco that provides employees with the opportunity to imagine, design, and create things using Autodesk software. What employees learn from that experience helps them improve Autodesk software. In a similar vein, we have a BUILD Space in Boston. Whereas Pier 9 is a maker space for employees to engage in individual projects, the BUILD Space in Boston is where groups of Autodesk employees engage with other groups like schools and companies. Autodesk is a big company. Unfortunately, sometimes one hand does not know what is going on with the other. This morning I originally published Zach's report of his trip to our BUILD Space. This was in violation of a press embargo that Zach and I were unaware of. As such, I have removed the content from my blog. I will bring an improved version of that content back to my blog after the embargo. Correcting my mistake is alive in the lab. Go to the original post...
