What happens when someone who's lived the chaos of the jobsite starts leading global construction sales at Autodesk? In this episode of the Bridging the Gap Podcast, Brent Ramos shares his journey from fourth-generation stucco contractor to Autodesk's Vice President of Construction Sales—and why technology only matters when it fixes miscommunication, eliminates rework, and frees people to focus on building.

Recorded live at Autodesk University 2025, Brent dives into the human side of construction tech and the real problems that happen every day on projects. He reveals how connected data and AI are unlocking smarter, predictive decisions—and why "bad data" is actually a workflow problem, not a tech one.

In this conversation, you'll learn why fixing field frustrations is the foundation of meaningful innovation, what it takes to build intentional and lasting change, and how Autodesk's Forma platform is turning connected construction into reality.
