How many CEOs does Oracle have?
The question arises not just because Oracle recently announced that two executives are the company’s new CEOs, succeeding Safra Catz, who had been CEO or co-CEO for the past 11 years. Making the succession more intriguing, Catz has been elevated to the board of directors with a previously unheard-of title, while founder Larry Ellison continues as chairman of the board and chief technology officer, but with duties that are by no means transparent. Result: We know who Oracle’s CEOs are by title, but who they are in reality may be less obvious.
