Shirin Arnold is the Industry Solutions Lead for Construction at Dropbox. Shirin joined Dropbox at the end of 2021 from Autodesk where she held several key positions in sales and product. She was a Technical Solutions Executive for the AEC industry as well as a Group Product Manager driving the BIM 360 Field Management solutions forward. Even though she holds a Master’s in Structural Engineering from Stanford University, she has always leaned towards the construction industry. Her interest in construction led her straight to a boots on the ground position, with a major general contractor as a project engineer where her interest flourished. She has held various product management positions from Credit Suisse to Graphisoft where she has been able to continue to influence the construction industry. 

Statement:

In being one of few women during my studies as a structural engineer, it is important for me to be a voice for others to advocate for driving diversity in the AEC industry.
