Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Parsons is a senior technology executive who leads Adobe's Content Authenticity Initiative, building standards and open-source systems that give creators provenance and help consumers detect manipulated media. With 12+ years of leadership experience and a background as founder/CTO across startups and acquisitions, he combines hands-on engineering, product design and operational decisiveness to turn emerging technologies into production-scale features. He has repeatedly scaled small teams to deliver Web, API, mobile and large-scale data products, and brings a pragmatic, “best-tool-for-the-job” approach grounded in open-source practice. A frequent speaker and mentor, Andy advises startups and accelerators while bridging product, engineering and business stakeholders. Unusually for a senior director, he retains deep technical fluency and a creative streak—he’s a trained jazz saxophonist and composer, which informs his collaborative leadership and taste for elegant solutions.
