Foreword

      I first met Frank in early 2012 over breakfast to explore his interest in joining Adobe's Board of Directors. It was clear from that initial conversation that Frank was a pioneer of understanding the critical connection between corporate strategy and culture in driving a company's success, as his criteria for making a decision were not only limited to Adobe's strategy, but also considered our values, culture, and character.
