RapidWorks Welcomes Jim Lynch to Board of Directors

A New Era for Heavy Construction Tech

In a significant move for the heavy construction equipment services sector, RapidWorks, a leading software developer, has announced the addition of industry veteran Jim Lynch to its Board of Directors. This strategic appointment is poised to strengthen RapidWorks' commitment to providing innovative solutions for subcontractors operating within the construction space.

For over three decades, Jim Lynch has been at the forefront of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) technology, garnering a reputation for his transformative impact on industry practices. Previously, he served as the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Autodesk's construction software business, where he played an instrumental role in developing and promoting Autodesk Construction Cloud. Lynch's extensive background uniquely positions him to contribute valuable insights to RapidWorks as it seeks to enhance operational efficiencies among professionals in the construction sector.

Accelerating Innovation for Subcontractors

As Tim Curran, CEO of RapidWorks, expressed during the announcement, “We’re thrilled to welcome Jim to the RapidWorks board. His track record of transforming how construction professionals operate will be invaluable as we continue building the leading software platform for heavy equipment construction and service companies.” Curran emphasized that Lynch’s wealth of knowledge will facilitate a rapid acceleration in innovation, ultimately aiding customers in becoming more efficient and profitable along their journey from quote to cash.

Lynch's appointment reflects RapidWorks' ongoing growth and commitment to serving subcontractors, a sector traditionally underserved by technological advancements. In today's industry landscape, many construction companies still rely on outdated methodologies, such as paper records and spreadsheets. Recognizing this gap, RapidWorks aims to provide an integrated suite of tools tailored for quoting, dispatching, field operations, compliance, and payment processes, effectively modernizing the way subcontractors manage their operations.

Focus on the Future of Construction Digitization

In his own words, Lynch articulated, “The next big wave of construction digitization will be purpose-built software for subcontractors. For too long, this vital part of the industry has been overlooked.” He believes that RapidWorks is uniquely situated to lead the charge in this new wave of technological progress, having already achieved success with tools that are widely adopted within the field. His enthusiasm to join the RapidWorks board is fueled by a desire to help the company unlock its full potential to enhance efficiency, utilization, and cash flow for heavy construction service providers worldwide.

A Legacy of Leadership

Lynch’s impressive career at Autodesk spanned 28 years, during which he significantly shaped the company’s AEC strategies. Since his retirement, he has not only contributed to the growth of several burgeoning construction technology firms but has also served as a strategic advisor across the industry. His arrival at RapidWorks marks a new chapter in the company's journey toward becoming a pivotal force for subcontractors.
