I Played Jenga with the CEO of Autodesk (Interview)

YouTube: Last week I had the privilege to interview Andrew Anagnost, the CEO of Autodesk. It was a huge honor and one really interesting interview. I had 1 whole hour with Andrew to ask him all the questions I have ever wanted to ask a CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

I think this interview was a very unique and fun way to get to know somebody. It must daunting to interview the CEO AutoDesk; I thought playing Jenga was a great way to break the ice while also having meaningful conversations with someone. I think the idea of having a game Jenga would be really great for our school. I could definitely see us making one for PTM, perhaps with interview questions or maybe even with terminology like we did with Pictionary in ScenoFab. Getting to watch this interview was really fun because you get to observe all of the quirks and humor behind the CEO which I think is helpful to get to know someone casually. I think CEOs can be quite scary or at least perceived as so. So, seeing him in a fun game setting makes hims seem very likeable.
