Carl Bass

After more than a decade leading Autodesk, CEO and President Carl Bass announced that he is stepping down. Bass oversaw the San Rafael, Calif.-based technology giant during a period of major change, including its transition to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model from its widely used AutoCAD and Revit design programs.

在2月7日的信中，Bass说他一直计划在一段时间内留下角色，并引用了渴望回到动手工程项目。新利18备用网址“我不会让我和家人花更多的时间 - 假定我的家人希望和我一起度过更多的时间，”贝斯笑了。“我会在我的机器人店里度过更多的时间。”反映他的成功，Bass突出了公司的转向萨斯，而且广泛地向云计算。

He also noted, “We have settled with our activist investors.”

The shift at Autodesk comes after a protracted investors’ revolt by two prominent stockholders. In addition to Bass stepping down, two other board members will resign: Scott Ferguson, managing partner for Sachem Head Capital Management, and Jeff Clarke, CEO of Kodak, both previously nominated to the Autodesk board by investors. Sachem Head and fellow activist investor Eminence Capital each held about 6% of Autodesk stock, making them two of its five largest investors.

A successor to Bass as CEO and president has not yet been named. Bass will retain his seat on the Autodesk executive board and will serve as a special adviser.
