aving spent the last twenty-five
years in corporate technology roles,
I have had a front row seat to the
evolution of the IT organization-from a
back-office function reacting to business
needs and demands to the revenuegenerating partner in transformation
that IT organizations are becoming
today. In the digital era, where data is
the new currency, IT is in the unique
position of having just the right
experience and end-to-end viewpoint
to become a primary driver of business
growth and innovation. There's never
been a more exciting, or challenging,
time to be part of corporate technology.
I took the role as Adobe CIO just
over a year ago precisely because
it was a unique opportunity to lead
IT at a company that not only had a
stellar reputation in the technology
marketplace but also was out in front
as a leader in the shift to cloud-based
business models. My global IT team
manages the infrastructure and data to
support that business model, delivers

services that form the mission-critical
backbone for the company, and works
hand-in-hand with our product teams to
help drive innovation.
Our focus, like many leading IT
organizations today, has shifted from
delivering projects to delivering business
value, whether that comes in the form
of increasing productivity or creating
new revenue streams. And as we all
know, that's required some significant
changes in the IT function. We have
to work more closely and proactively
with both our business partners and
our technology providers. We must be
able to provide the seamless, reliable,
flexible, and scalable technology needed
to succeed in the always-on digital era.
We have to constantly be on the lookout for the next new technology-enabled
business opportunity that will keep us
a step ahead in a highly competitive
marketplace. And we have to make sure
we have the level of technology talent
and business acumen to remain the best
partners to the business going forward.

From the Back Office to the
Front lines
A veteran Cio has seen it evolve from order taker to revenue
generator. those experiences have shaped her approach in
leading a global team toward the as-a-service future.
