The Opportunity   

The Corporate Strategy team works closely with Adobe’s senior executives to win with our three audience groups – Business Professionals & Consumers, Creators & Creative Professionals, and Marketing Professionals and ensure that the company stays on its fast growth trajectory.

For example, they were integral in its well-publicized transition to cloud, and its expansion into a leadership position in Digital Marketing.
