Throughout his career Lewis has established a well-rounded understanding of design, construction, and operational requirements. Understanding the impacts across the business and supply-chain has enabled him to better define consistent, efficient, and cost-effective processes and technological solutions as the business or project requires. With experience spanning architectural design, project management, model coordination and BIM strategy, Lewis has developed a strong working knowledge of industry standards, guidance documentation and practical application, with a wealth of experience defining and implementing digital strategy, workflows, processes, standards, supporting documentation and templates within large infrastructure and aviation organisations.
Prior to joining Autodesk, Lewis led the BIM strategy and Asset Information Management team at London Gatwick Airport, and during his time there founded the ‘Connected Airport’ events which is now facilitated by Autodesk. This long-standing focus group now consists of 165+ international airports and was designed to support airport owners looking to advance their capital delivery and campus management with BIM-based workflows. The aim is to provide a greater understanding of how BIM processes and principles from capital projects can integrate and enhance the ongoing Airport facilities management whilst exploring how Airport Digital Twins have a critical role to play.
