The business branches describe a public portfolio, not a confidential employee hierarchy. A line between a category and an offering means the offering belongs in that published category; it does not say that a particular executive personally manages every team shown.

How this structure supports the business

The Creativity and design and Documents and productivity branches answer different questions about Adobe. Creative Cloud and related creative tools serve content creators, teams and enterprises. Acrobat and document workflows address creation, review, signatures and productivity. Showing them side by side is more informative than drawing an unsupported chain of managers, particularly when the public materials report a portfolio or service line rather than a complete internal org chart.

Adobe combined its former Digital Media, Digital Experience, and Publishing and Advertising reporting segments into one operating segment in fiscal 2026, while retaining distinct product areas. Anil Chakravarthy has been announced as the next CEO effective 1 December 2026; Shantanu Narayen remains CEO on this review date. Experience Platform and related applications support enterprise marketing and personalized customer experiences. The diagram makes that distinguishing feature visible while keeping the named leadership layer separate. It is useful as a starting point for an editable company chart; users can replace the public groupings with their own teams, roles and verified reporting relationships.
