Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch has left the company and accepted a position with Apple. Adobe confirmed his departure, though Apple has not issued a comment on the matter.
“[Lynch] is leaving the company effective March 22 to take a position at Apple,” said Adobe in a statement. “Responsibility for technology development lies with our business unit heads under the leadership of Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen. Bryan Lamkin, who has recently returned to Adobe, will assume responsibilities for cross company research and technology initiatives as well as Corporate Development. We wish Kevin well in this new chapter of his career.”
Lynch’s career has included time at Adobe sparring with then Apple CEO Steve Jobs and asserting the superiority of Adobe Flash Player over HTML5. His personal history in software development, however, has had him working on Apple technology in various capacities over the years.
