Jay Bhatt

As senior vice president of Autodesk’s AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) Solutions division, based outside of Boston, Jay Bhatt is responsible for the portion of Autodesk’s technology portfolio delivered to building and infrastructure industry participants including architects, engineers, contractors, and real estate owners. Since early 2004, Bhatt has driven AEC Solutions’ business strategy and operations, including engineering, marketing, and product delivery. Some of the key products for which Bhatt is responsible include the AutoCAD® Revit® family of products, AutoCAD® Architecture, AutoCAD® MEP, AutoCAD® Civil 3D®, and the Autodesk® Buzzsaw/Autodesk® Constructware line of products.

AEC Solutions is focused on helping Autodesk customers create and extend their digital design information throughout the entire building and construction process so they can both experience their designs before they are real and leverage this design information throughout the operation phase of their projects. AEC Solutions does this by leveraging Autodesk’s best-in-class technology platforms such as its building information modeling (BIM) tools built on the Revit platform and its collaborative project management (CPM) tools such as Buzzsaw and Constructware.

Prior to AEC Solutions, Bhatt ran Autodesk’s Corporate and Business Development organization, where he was responsible for corporate strategic planning as well as corporate and divisional mergers and acquisitions and partnership creation. Before joining Autodesk, Bhatt was the chief financial officer and senior vice president of business development for Buzzsaw.com, Inc., which was acquired by Autodesk in 2001. Previously, Bhatt has worked as a real estate and technology investment banker and as a business/transactional attorney with a focus on real estate.

Bhatt received his bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania and his law degree from the UCLA School of Law.
