• Lead post-event content retrospectives and debriefs, documenting lessons learned, identifying opportunities for improvement, and translating insights into actionable changes for future programs.
• Develop and maintain repeatable processes, templates, playbooks, and production best practices that improve creative quality, stakeholder experience, and delivery efficiency as Autodesk's keynote function continues to evolve.
