Operating Model: Creativity, Productivity, And Customer Experience

Adobe's leadership model centers on Shantanu Narayen as Chair and CEO, with business accountability split across Creativity and Productivity and Customer Experience Orchestration.

The structure is useful for org design because it shows how a mature software company separates product platforms, enterprise customer experience, marketing, finance, people, and legal leadership while sharing AI and platform strategy across business lines.

Leadership: Product Presidents And Corporate Functions

The chart highlights Shantanu Narayen, David Wadhwani, Anil Chakravarthy, Dan Durn, Lara Balazs, Gloria Chen, and Louise Pentland. These roles form the executive layer for product, customer experience, finance, marketing, people, and legal functions.

Business Structure: Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, And Experience Cloud

Adobe's operating structure maps naturally to Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, Adobe Express, Experience Cloud, and the enterprise platform work required to connect content, marketing workflows, data, and AI-driven personalization.
