Legal matters
Di Fronzo joined Autodesk in 1998, became general counsel in 2006 and during that time has been responsible for managing all of Autodesk’s legal matters, providing counsel to the CEO and Board of Directors, overseeing Autodesk’s government affairs and public policy work and leading Autodesk’s corporate development activity.

I’m confident that the best is yet to come for Autodesk.” Di Fronzo will serve in his current role until December 2021.
