The organizational changes to its executive team include new roles and added responsibilities. Senior Vice President David Wadhwani (top left, pictured previously) has decided to leave Adobe to pursue another opportunity as a Chief Executive Officer.
Bryan Lamkin will lead the Digital Media business for Adobe. This will include Creative Cloud and Adobe Document Cloud. Lamkin, who currently leads the company’s Document Cloud business as well as its Corporate Development and Technology, played a leading role in the success of both Photoshop and Creative Suite.
Under Lamkin’s leadership, the company will further align Creative Cloud and Document Cloud product development as well as its go-to-market efforts.
Abhay Parasnis, who joined Adobe in July of this year as Chief Technical Officer and Senior Vice President of Cloud Technology, will also expand his current leadership role.
Parasnis’ charter is to drive Adobe’s overall technology strategy, architecture, and innovation and integration roadmap for the future for Adobe’s Cloud Services.
He will now assume responsibility for Adobe’s Security and Research teams. Parasnis has 20 years of experience leading major cloud and platform initiatives at a number of leading enterprise companies.
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mark Garrett will add Corporate Development, which includes corporate strategy, mergers and acquisitions and corporate alliances, to his existing duties and responsibilities.
As Adobe’s Worldwide Finance and Operations chief, Garrett supports all facets of the company’s growth agenda and oversees all Adobe’s financial operations around the globe.
“David Wadhwani has made many significant contributions to Adobe’s growth and we all wish him well,” said Shantanu Narayen, President and Chief Executive Officer at Adobe.
“Bryan Lamkin has a strong history in the creative and consumer Internet businesses and will drive tighter alignment between Creative Cloud and Document Cloud.
As CTO and SVP of Cloud Technology, Abhay Parasnis will further advance our innovation in the cloud.”
