Founded in 1982, Adobe (ADBE) is one of the world’s largest software companies. Adobe offers a wide range of tools and programs including flagship products such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe Acrobat that allow users to create content ranging from graphics, multimedia and videos, web design, animation, and more. I personally have been using Adobe’s products for years and genuinely believe they are some of the best in the business. While there’s a steeper learning curve, all of Adobe’s programs have incredible capabilities and are used by industry professionals and the general public alike.
Insider Purchase by Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks
What drew our attention to Adobe this week was a very interesting purchase by Director David A. Ricks, who also happens to be the CEO and Chairman of the pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly (LLY). Mr. Ricks has spent nearly 30 years at Eli Lilly, working his way up from Business Development Associate to assuming the roles of both CEO and Chairman in 2017. He joined Adobe’s board in April 2018, marking 2025 as his seventh year at the company.
