Background

About Todd Farmer

With over 25 years driving technology innovation, autonomy strategy, and platform development at Caterpillar, I’m passionate about transforming how the construction and heavy equipment industries operate. My career has centered on building products and digital ecosystems that enhance productivity, improve safety, and deliver measurable business impact — all while bridging engineering, commercial, and customer needs. I currently lead product strategy for construction digital and technology platforms, overseeing portfolios in autonomy, safety systems, and connected jobsite solutions. My work has helped scale technology revenue growth from single digits to over 25% year over year, generating more than $100 million in revenue. I’ve launched the industry’s first active collision mitigation system, accelerated deployment of autonomous soil compaction solutions, and created licensing models that increased adoption rates by over 270%. I thrive at the intersection of innovation and execution — whether negotiating complex joint ventures to unlock new opportunities, aligning product roadmaps across 100+ machine models, or driving dealer enablement strategies that expand reach and accelerate adoption. My approach is collaborative and customer-focused, built on a deep understanding of how emerging technologies can solve real-world challenges on the jobsite. As I look ahead, I’m excited to continue shaping the future of construction technology — leading initiatives that push the boundaries of autonomy, digital integration, and industrial transformation.
