Rachel Tuller is the Vice President of Global Channels at Autodesk, where she leads global partner strategy, programs, and enablement. With deep expertise in digital transformation, channel development, and customer success, Rachel focuses on building high-trust relationships, aligning partner value with customer outcomes, and preparing the Autodesk ecosystem for the future of AI and data-driven innovation.
TODD TAKES Innovation Is About Customer OutcomesThe most exciting change is that innovation is no longer framed as features or transactions—it’s about outcomes. Partners and technology providers alike are leaning into solving customer problems, improving workflows, and creating measurable impact. That shift from “what’s the tool” to “what’s the result” is where true transformation happens.
Data + AI Should Power Workflows (Not Features)The story this year isn’t about buttons—it’s about end-to-end workflows driven by connected data and embedded AI. When insights surface in real time, teams move faster and make better calls. Practical AI plus thoughtful services create a multiplier effect for productivity and project success.
Trust Fuels Change (Start with the Why)Change management begins with clarity. When leaders communicate the “why” early and often, they build trust that makes adoption possible. Add cultural alignment and open collaboration, and change shifts from something feared to something embraced. That circle of trust is where meaningful progress happens.
