Dorothy currently is the Director of Insider Communities at Adobe. In her role, she leads a team to foster a culture of community-led product development and co-design, allowing product teams to build alongside whom they’re building for across Creative Cloud products such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Firefly, Express, and Video.

Curiosity and empathy have driven the central theme of her career. She’s led large, global teams to solve complex problems by deeply understanding the end-user, whether it’s someone using a software product, a patient, a consumer, or someone she’s coaching. She is always looking for ways to challenge the status quo for the better, especially when it comes to addressing societal injustices. She enjoys leveraging creativity, an entrepreneurial spirit, and powerful storytelling to solve these complex problems. She longs to bring about systemic and transformative impact in whatever work I do.

She has a diverse set of experiences that allow her to understand the entire product lifecycle and multiple facets of any business. She has16 years of experience in Product, Strategy, Marketing, Innovation, Operations, and Engineering roles across various sectors – Tech, health insurance, medical devices, hospitals, biotech/pharma, digital health, and consumer products. She’s also an intrapreneur at heart, organically creating new products, programs, and initiatives from scratch at every single job she’s had.

Outside of her “day job,” she’s a huge proponent of gender equity, especially when it comes to advocating for policies and structure to keep more women in the workforce or creating more supportive work environments for all.

Most importantly, she’s a person of faith who believes in a higher calling beyond any role or position; such a calling ultimately drives her life purpose and work, regardless of industry or company.
