Adobe Names Two Chief Software Architects of Technology
April 08, 2004
San Jose, CA - Adobe Systems has appointed two chief software architects to help shape the future of the company’s digital imaging, publishing and document technology platforms, the company has announced: Greg Gilley for publishing and graphics, and Tom Malloy for Intelligent Documents.
As the engineering leads in Adobe's new Office of Technology, their charter is to spearhead development of advanced technologies and further the
company's leadership in software innovation.
The Office of Technology will include the former Advanced Technology
Group (ATG), which Malloy has led for the past nine years. ATG's
accomplishments include a number of the advanced features in Adobe
Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Postscript, Adobe Acrobat
and the Portable Document Format (PDF) technology. ATG's document
technology programs will now focus more directly on Adobe's growing
Intelligent Documents business, which is building on the success of PDF
as the de facto standard for secure and reliable document transmission to
automate document-based enterprise processes.
Gilley, formerly Adobe's vice president of graphics applications
development, is an 11-year company veteran who has led product
development for the Photoshop product line and numerous other Adobe
products. He will centralize diverse imaging, video and design projects
formerly housed inside ATG and product groups under a new graphics and
publishing organization, focusing on trends in the creative professional
and consumer markets.
Both chief software architects will lead their teams in an independent,
cross-product environment while linking their technology architectures to
targeted customer and product segments. They also will focus on external
technology alliances and act as technology evangelists in the industry.
