Autodesk: Adapting to a changing landscape

[Hirazi Blue]

An interview on develop-online.net with “Autodesk’s senior production manger of suites Cory Mogk and Softimage product manager Daniel Tutino-Galletti”
Apart from the fact that a typo actually defines Cory Mogk’s role as “production manger” ("a manger is “a trough or box in a stable, barn, etc., from which horses or cattle feed” - reverso.net) and one has to ask what exactly mister Daniel Tutino-Galleti was doing there, as his contribution was quite small IMHO, some might find this interesting to read:

These articles never give a full picture of the interview, as they only appear as a small piece online. This is a online version of the same piece that appeared in the print version of Develop, though I haven't seen that version so I don't know if its any different.
Also to give it some context, Cory, Daniel and Mark (Maya PD), were all speaking to journalists in groups and indvidually. Much can depend on what people are looking for and the answers given.

from what I heard, Cory has offloaded Softimage product management to Daniel Tutino, who reports to him

What a surprise.....

Relevancy of DX11 but then how to connect that to Linux trend?

[gustavoeb]

that makes for 4 managers (and counting) in less then 12 months?

[luceric]

no daniel is the third. in five years if you want to frame it that way ;-)

[gustavoeb]

my bad, I thought there was someone else (unnamed) inbetween Jason and Cory

Product Management and Product Design are two different roles, so Cory and Chinny were different. Stefan has taken over Chinnys PD role.
Daniel is doing the day to day PM duties and reports to Cory. But, honestly, people shouldn't read too much into it.

I really don't think anyone is reading anything into anything else here or too much so. Those who've paid attention at the Unfold webpage should at least already have seen Daniel Tutino-Galleti's name and current role before, as he is listed under the "Meet the experts - Softimage" section there. (I for one wasn't confused in that respect, I just found his contribution to the interview very small).
But whenever there is a "unexpected" change at the manger you can expect the cattle to respond. This doesn't, however, mean they are necessarily going to stampede...

actually, chinny was Technical Product manager and acting product manager for softimage. He was going to become a product designer once moving out of softimage

if you want to be technically super accurate, Cory replaced Chinny's former boss, who was called Rick and was the PM of the suites. Cory is the new PM of the suites. So it all works out to be the same structure..
