MANCHESTER, NH, May 12, 2025 – Newforma has announced the appointment of Jim Lynch to its Board of Directors. Lynch has extensive experience from his time at Autodesk, where he played a key role in advancing the use of building information modeling (BIM) and improving data management and collaboration in AECO projects.
“The AECO industry is under enormous pressure – from labor shortages and an aging workforce to an explosion of project information that continues to grow exponentially. Turning all that information into insights is no longer optional – it’s mission critical,” said Peter Cannone, CEO of Newforma. “We’re thrilled to welcome Jim to our board of directors. His extensive experience will be a tremendous asset as we continue to focus on growth and delivering greater value for our customers by improving efficiency, enhancing profit margins and reducing risk.”
Newforma’s platform helps teams access project information when needed, supporting informed decision-making across large volumes of data. Lynch’s background in digital workflows will support the platform’s continued development and reach.
“Newforma’s ability to streamline access to critical information, regardless of where that information lives, and drive smarter workflows is unmatched,” said Lynch. “This industry is staring down a perfect storm: a retiring workforce, fragmented systems and an avalanche of data. I’m thrilled to join the board and contribute to Newforma’s vision for smarter, more connected project delivery.”
Lynch’s appointment reflects Newforma’s focus on adapting to changes in the AECO industry. His leadership will guide the company’s efforts towards an efficient and data-driven project delivery.
