Mike Dillon - Adobe Systems, Inc.

Mike Dillon, the general counsel of Adobe Systems Inc., is anything but your typical general counsel. His distaste for “legalese” drove him to rewrite Adobe’s contracts in plain English. He’s also a serial general counsel. His previous perch was at Silver Spring Networks and, before that, Sun Microsystems. Given his love for writing, it may come as no surprise that Mike received bachelor’s degrees in communications and sociology from UC San Diego before getting his juris doctor degree from Santa Clara University. He can be reached at midillon@adobe.com.
