Autodesk to cut 7% of workforce as part of go-to-market strategy

Autodesk, headquartered in San Francisco, California, USA, has announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 7% globally as part of its multi-year go-to-market (GTM) strategy, announced in 2025. Most of the approximately 1,000 job losses are expected to affect those working in sales.
“I recognise the weight of this news, particularly as it follows the organisational changes we made last year,” stated Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk President and CEO. “I want to be clear that this will not become an annual process at Autodesk and these changes are not driven by the external environment or an effort to replace people with AI.”

“We remain steadfast in our belief that technology is only as powerful as the people who use it and humans will always be the most important part of the equation. This announcement reflects a deliberate decision by leadership to align our organisation with our long-term strategy and the opportunities ahead,” concluded Anagnost.
