Adobe names new CTO
Adobe Systems announced Tuesday the promotion of Kevin Lynch to chief technology officer.
Lynch, who has served as Adobe senior vice president and chief software architect, will oversee Adobe's experience design and core technology across business units, the company said. He will continue to "drive" the Adobe technology platform for designers and developers; this platform includes the Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime), which enables Web applications to run off the network on desktop systems.
Adobe last had a CTO around early-2001 when John Warnock served in the post. The new CTO position reflects the progression of Adobe's technology evolution, the company said.
Lynch joined Adobe in 2005 when the company acquired Macromedia. At Macromedia, Lynch served as chief software architect and president of products. He led the initial development of the Macromedia Dreamweaver Web development product line and the transformation of the Flash Player from an animation focus to being a rich Internet application and dynamic media runtime.
