Accomplished Design & Technology Leader to Head Product
Management & Engineering for Adobe Creative Cloud
Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the appointment of Scott
Belsky as chief product officer and executive vice president,
Creative Cloud. In this new role, Belsky will lead product
management and engineering for Adobe Creative Cloud products and
services, Adobe Spark and Behance. In addition, he will
oversee the Adobe Design team which focuses on experience design
across Adobe products. Belsky’s responsibilities will include
driving product delivery and long-term innovation strategy across
Adobe’s key design, photography and video segments. He will report
to Adobe president and CEO Shantanu Narayen and partner closely
with Bryan Lamkin, executive vice president and general manager,
Digital Media, who will continue to lead business strategy and
go-to-market for both Creative Cloud and Document Cloud. With
Belsky leading product strategy and Lamkin leading business
strategy, the two will work together to drive growth and customer
success, and deliver on Adobe’s vision for making Creative Cloud
the creativity platform for all.
“Scott is a seasoned leader in the creative and design community
with a track record of introducing disruptive new technologies and
ways of thinking. He combines an unmatched passion for products
with an acute vision for how the creative process must continue to
evolve,” said Narayen. “As Adobe enters the next phase of growth in
our creative business, Scott is the ideal leader to help drive
product innovation in our Creative Cloud offerings and ensure Adobe
continues to empower our creative customers to do their best
work.”
Belsky previously served as Adobe’s vice president of products,
leading the Creative Cloud mobile product strategy. He joined the
company in 2012 through the acquisition of Behance, a platform he
co-founded in 2006. Today more than 10 million people use Behance
to display their portfolios, as well as track and find top talent
across creative industries.
“No company is better positioned than Adobe to help creatives
tackle today’s challenges, and I’m thrilled to rejoin the Adobe
team,” said Belsky. “We have an incredible opportunity to reduce
the amount of friction creatives face, drive more inclusivity and
connectivity in the creative process, and innovate for new mediums
and interfaces. Most importantly, I’m excited to help advance the
impact creative people can make at their companies and in their
communities.”
Throughout his career, Belsky has served as an advisor and
investor to several organizations that sit at the intersection of
technology and design, including Pinterest, Uber and Periscope (now
part of Twitter). Prior to Adobe, Belsky was a venture investor at
Benchmark. He serves on the advisory board of Cornell University’s

bestselling book “Making Ideas Happen.” Belsky attended Cornell
