Seasoned Technologist to Drive Strategy and Architecture for
Company’s Cloud Platforms
Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) today named Abhay Parasnis as chief
technology officer and senior vice president of platform technology
and services. Parasnis will drive Adobe’s technology strategy,
architecture and innovation roadmap for its cloud services,
focusing on integration of its three cloud services; providing a
consistent customer experience via the cloud; and enabling the
company’s cloud-based go-to-market strategies.
As the majority of Adobe’s business has moved to a cloud- and
services-based model – including its flagship offerings Creative
Cloud, Adobe Marketing Cloud, and most recently Adobe Document
Cloud – the opportunity to drive a more integrated and scalable
architecture has become a key initiative for the company.
“Abhay brings a powerful combination of technical credentials
and operational experience to this new CTO role,” said Shantanu
Narayen, Adobe’s president and CEO. “Our cloud platforms are the
foundation for our next phase of innovation and growth as a
company, and Abhay is the ideal candidate to lead this
initiative.”
Parasnis brings nearly 20 years of experience in the software
industry. Most recently, he was president and chief operating
officer of venture-funded enterprise mobility leader Kony. He
previously held a variety of enterprise technology, platform and
cloud roles at companies including Microsoft, i2, Oracle and
IBM.
“Adobe has set the standard on how to successfully shift to a
cloud-based business while delivering great innovation for
customers,” said Parasnis. “Adobe’s cloud initiatives are
dramatically re-shaping how content is created, measured and
consumed, which is unique in the software world and a great
technical challenge. I’m excited to dive in and make great things
happen.”
Parasnis holds a bachelor’s degree in electronics and
telecommunications from the College of Engineering Pune, and holds
more than 20 patents spanning enterprise and consumer Internet
technologies. For more information, see the blog Q&A with
