Apart from falling behind on many major projects, the industry is also experiencing a significant shortage of engineers. A&amp;D companies are looking to overcome these challenges by embracing digital tools like the digital twin. To tell us how they can, we have some new faces joining the podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this first episode of the new season, Dale Tutt, Vice President of Global Industries at Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Todd Tuthill and Patty Russo. Todd is the Vice President of Aerospace and Defense Strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software. Patty is the Global Marketing Manager for the Aerospace and Defense Industry and will be the new host of Talking Aerospace Today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s episode, part one of a two-part conversation, you\u2019ll learn more details about Todd and Patty and their experiences with the A&amp;D industry. We\u2019ll also discuss the biggest challenge the A&amp;D industry faces and what is being done to solve it, as well as learn about the benefits of using a digital twin and what implementing it involves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In this episode, you will learn:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Patty\u2019s and Todd&#8217;s experience in the A&amp;D industry (01:30)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How having been on the customer side helps Todd while working in R&amp;D (08:47)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The biggest challenge today in the A&amp;D industry (09:49)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How the digital twin is being used in the A&amp;D industry (11:23)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What a digital transformation journey involving the digital twin entails (14:23)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/01\/headshot_dale_tutt-e1675095223989.jpg\" alt=\"Dale Tutt - Speaker\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Dale Tutt &#8211; Speaker<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>Dale Tutt<\/strong> is the Vice of President of Industry Strategy for Siemens Digital Industries Software.<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/dale-tutt-5866871b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Dale on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/01\/headshot_todd_tuthill-e1675095289505.jpg\" alt=\"Todd Tuthill - Speaker\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Todd Tuthill &#8211; Speaker<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>Todd Tuthill<\/strong> is the Vice President of Aerospace &amp; Defense Strategy &amp; Marketing for Siemens Digital Industries Software.<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/toddtuthill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Todd on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/01\/headshot_patty_russo-e1675095279335.jpg\" alt=\"Patty Russo - Host\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Patty Russo &#8211; Host<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>Patty Russo<\/strong> is Global Marketing Manager for Siemens Digital Industries Software.<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/patty-russo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Patty on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Talking Aerospace Today \u2013 a podcast for the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry.
