Bio
With dual roles as Senior Director of Sustainability at Autodesk and President & CEO of the newly created Autodesk Foundation, Lynelle is committed to harnessing the power of design to create a better world. Under her leadership, Autodesk created the Sustainability Workshop, an online learning platform for teaching sustainable design that has reached over one million students worldwide, and launched two software donation programs, the Technology Impact program for nonprofit organizations, and the Clean Tech Partner Program for early-stage clean tech companies around the world. Since Lynelle joined six years ago, Autodesk has received numerous awards for Autodesk's environmental performance and commitment to creating a better world.
She brings over a decade of experience in both the nonprofit and private sectors, and has led pioneering efforts at the intersection of economic development and environmental conservation. Her experience spans from grassroots work in the Himalayas to NOLS leadership training in Kenya; from the cubicles of Hewlett-Packard or World Wildlife Fund to remote offices of the Mountain Institute or the Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance; and from conceptualizing the Center for Responsible Business at Berkeley to pursuing telemedicine solutions in Bangladesh.
Lynelle has served on the boards of the Center for Environmental Health, Biomimicry Institute, the Designers Accord, the Center for Responsible Business at UC Berkeley, and Net Impact. A published author and regular speaker, Lynelle has an MBA from UC Berkeley, an M.S. from University of Michigan, and a B.A. from Middlebury College.
