Diego Tamburini, Senior Industry Program Manager, Manufacturing, Autodesk

Diego Tamburini currently works for the Manufacturing Strategic Industry Relations group at Autodesk. He focuses on defining the vision for Autodesk in manufacturing and evangelizing Autodesk as a thought leader in the industry.

Diego came to Autodesk after 10 years at Microsoft, where he was working in the Microsoft Dynamics development team developing the upcoming first cloud release of Dynamics ERP for Professional Services. Prior to Microsoft Dynamics, he was in the Developer & Platform Evangelism group, where he managed a team of Developer Evangelists whose mission was to help Global ISVs in Engineering & Manufacturing align their product strategy with upcoming Microsoft technologies. Before managing this team, he was a Developer Evangelist for Engineering & Manufacturing ISVs.

Diego also worked as Research Engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Product and Systems Lifecycle Management Systems (PSLM) Center. There he worked on engineering information modeling, software infrastructures for integrated collaborative engineering, and knowledge representations and interoperability technologies to enable them. He also worked closely with the OMG group developing and reviewing the SysML standard (an extension of UML targeted to Systems Engineering).

Before Microsoft, he worked at SDRC (now Siemens PLM) as a Principal PLM Implementation Engineer, helping large customers such as Boeing and Goodrich Aerospace implement UGS’ PLM system (known as Metaphase at that time).
