Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen to Step Down After 18 Years
Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen announced he will step down once a successor is named, ending an 18-year tenure that transformed the company from packaged software to a cloud-first digital experience empire.

The transition comes amid growing competition and a recent Gartner Magic Quadrant shift, with Adobe's digital experience business generating $4.9 billion in revenue last fiscal year. The board has appointed Frank Calderoni to lead the search committee, considering both internal and external candidates. Enterprises using Adobe Experience Manager, Marketo, and Adobe Experience Platform face uncertainty about product strategy and AI priorities. Narayen's legacy includes the $4.75B Marketo acquisition, the failed $20B Figma deal, and scaling revenue to over $25B.
