Larry brings a track record of exceptional product, engineering and organizational achievements that will serve us well as he grows the team and engineering capability.”
Larry has spent over 20 years leading global software teams of 12 to 1200 engineers in the US, Asia and Europe in the successful development and delivery of software products focused on design, manufacture, collaboration, and lifecycle management. He oversaw all of Autodesk’s software development in Shanghai and Singapore, delivering significant gains in operational efficiency. Larry repeatedly delivered software that achieved double-digit percentage increases in year-over-year revenue for the Manufacturing digital design market. He also effectively integrated global teams distributed at sites in Asia, Europe and the US.
Mr. Peck noted, “I have spent much of my career at Autodesk developing structured design and data capture tools for mechanical industries — tools that have conferred enormous benefits to those industries, but are largely missing in the life sciences. I’m thrilled to join Riffyn and help realize the company’s vision for transformative digital design tools in the life science industries.”
