Biography | Shantanu Narayen — The December Morning These Towers Named Him Chief Executive

Adobe did not wait for a search firm.
On 12 November 2007 the board named president and chief operating officer Shantanu Narayen as president and chief executive, effective 1 December.
He would join the board the same day.
Bruce Chizen, chief executive since 2000, would stay on the board into spring 2008 and as an adviser through fiscal 2008.
Narayen had joined Adobe in January 1998.
He became president and chief operating officer in January 2005, in time to help close the Macromedia purchase later that year.
The headquarters complex faces Park Avenue and South Almaden Boulevard in downtown San Jose.
The West Tower at 345 Park Avenue opened in 1996.
The East Tower followed in 1998, the year he arrived.
The photograph looks at those towers from the Almaden corner.
The boxed Creative Suite was still the company's main cash register.
The subscription cloud that later rebuilt the business was not yet the official plan.
