New Product Managers for Flash!
I'm happy to announce that we've finally gotten a couple of great people in place to lead the Flash authoring tool business. Jennifer Taylor, former Sr. Product Manager for Dreamweaver and most recently Sr. Product Manager for the Adobe Engagement Platform has taken the role of Group Product Manager for the Flash tools business. Jen is one of the smartest and most talented people that I know (I've learned a lot from her) so I couldn't be more excited to take on this important role. I'm sad to lose her from the Platfrom Business Unit (Apollo, Flash Player and Adobe Reader) that I now live in, but I know she's going to be even more effective at leading the Flash business. I also know that this will translate to great releases of Flash in the future (beyond CS3).
Also joining the ranks of Flash product management is one of my closest friends, Richard Galvan, who is now the Technical Product Manager for Flash. There is not a person who is better-suited for this role. Richard is incredibly bright, friendly, outgoing, knows Flash like the back of his hand, and is an ideal spokesperson for the product out in the community. He will be presenting two sessions on Flash the upcoming Dx3 conference, one of them focused on Flash video - which happens to be his expertise.
Richard promises to keep up with his new blog, so bookmark it now. :)
It's also worth mentioning that former Flash designer/developer relations manager Justin Everett-Church has moved over to the Platform group joining Emmy Huang, now Group Product Manager for Flash Player, as the Sr. Product Manager for Flash Player.
The pieces are all falling into place! This is exciting news.

I'm sure they'll do a great job, although they've been set some high standards to meet ;)
