Oracle Leadership

Founder. Served as Chief Executive Officer from 1977 through September 18, 2014; on that date transitioned to Executive Chair of the Board and Chief Technology Officer, the dual title he continues to hold. Direct day-to-day involvement in product engineering and customer commitments — OCI capacity commitments with named AI customers have been publicly attributed to Ellison personally on earnings calls. See the Founders section above for biographical detail; see the voting structure section below for the ~40.6% beneficial-ownership concentration.

Appointed CEO effective September 22, 2025 per the Item 5.02 8-K filed September 22, 2025. Joined Oracle in 2014 as a founding member of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure engineering team after several years at Amazon Web Services. Served as President, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) from July 2024 to September 2025, overseeing the design, implementation, and business growth of Gen2 OCI — the substrate that landed the FY2026 AI-infrastructure customer-commitment cluster now visible in the company's RPO trajectory. The Compensation Committee awarded a $250 million stock-option grant in connection with the promotion: 80% time-based vesting over four years, 20% performance-based vesting over three years ending May 31, 2028 subject to revenue metrics, per Oracle's Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan.

Appointed co-CEO effective September 22, 2025 per the same Item 5.02 8-K. Joined Oracle in 2008 through the acquisition of Primavera Systems (project portfolio management software). Most recently served as President, Industries from June 2025 to September 2025, overseeing Oracle's vertical-applications portfolio including Oracle Health (the rebranded Cerner business), Oracle Financial Services Industries, and Oracle Communications. Before Industries, led Oracle's effort to use intent-based application generation to replace traditional coding for building Oracle applications. The Compensation Committee awarded a $100 million stock-option grant on the same 80% time-based / 20% performance-based structure as Magouyrk's grant.

Has served as President, Global Field Operations since September 2025, per Oracle's FY2026 10-K “Information About Our Executive Officers” section (filed June 22, 2026) — the first proxy/10-K roster in which he is separately tabulated as a Section 16 executive officer, and also listed on oracle.com/corporate/executives/. Served as Executive Vice President and General Manager of North America Cloud Infrastructure Sales from June 2023 to August 2025, and as Executive Vice President of Cloud & Technology Sales from June 2021 to June 2023. Held various other positions since joining Oracle in 2013; before Oracle he was General Manager of Sales for the Digital Energy business at General Electric.

Joined Oracle in 1999. Served as co-CEO with Mark Hurd from September 2014 until Hurd's death in October 2019, then as sole CEO from October 2019 to September 22, 2025. Stepped into the Executive Vice Chair role on the same date; the proxy describes her continuing role as helping oversee Oracle's strategic direction. Earlier served as President from January 2004 to September 2014 and as CFO from November 2005 to September 2008 and again from April 2011 to September 2014. Member of the Board since 2001. Prior to Oracle, was a managing director and member of the executive committee at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette (1994–1999).

Has served as Executive Vice Chair of the Board since September 2014. Previously served as Chairman of the Board from January 2004 to September 2014 and as Chief Financial Officer from March 1991 to July 2004. Member of the Board since 1995.

Appointed Chief Financial Officer effective April 6, 2026 per the Item 5.02 8-K filed April 6, 2026, serving as Oracle's Principal Financial Officer and reporting to co-CEO Clay Magouyrk. Joined from Schneider Electric SE, where she was Executive Vice President and Group Chief Financial Officer from 2020 to April 2026, a member of the Executive Committee leading the global finance organization; earlier held divisional CFO roles at Schneider (2017–2020) and spent twelve years at the AES Corporation across finance, strategy, and M&A. Serves on the board of Anglo American plc as a non-executive director and Audit Committee Chair. Holds a B.S. and an MBA from Cornell University. The Compensation Committee approved a $26 million equity grant (80% time-based / 20% performance-based) on terms parallel to the co-CEOs' grants.

Served as Executive Vice President and Principal Financial Officer from September 22, 2025 (succeeding Catz) until April 6, 2026, when he stepped down as PFO and as a Section 16 officer upon Hilary Maxson's appointment as CFO. Continues as Executive Vice President, Operations, focusing on Oracle's go-to-market operations and strategic initiatives. Joined Oracle in 2005 and has held various senior operating roles since.

Long-tenured Oracle executive responsible for cross-product technical architecture; named in the September 2025 DEF 14A beneficial-ownership table as one of the company's Section 16 reporting officers. Oracle's FY2026 10-K (filed June 22, 2026) no longer lists Screven among its executive officers, and he is absent from oracle.com/corporate/executives/; no Item 5.02 8-K separately discloses a departure, so his current status at Oracle is not independently confirmed here.

See the Founders section for biographical detail. As the company's founder and largest individual shareholder (~40.6% beneficial ownership), Ellison's board seat is not classified as independent under NYSE listing rules.

Elected to the Board in connection with the September 22, 2025 CEO transition. See the executive officer bio for background.

Disclosed in the Item 5.02 8-K filed April 6, 2026. Kehring held the PFO role for roughly six months (from the September 22, 2025 co-CEO transition) before Hilary Maxson, formerly Group CFO of Schneider Electric, was appointed Chief Financial Officer and Principal Financial Officer. Kehring ceased to be a Section 16 reporting officer on the same date and returned his focus to go-to-market operations as Executive Vice President, Operations.

Disclosed in the Item 5.02 8-K filed January 9, 2026. George H. Conrades (age 86, an Oracle director since 2008) retired effective January 5, 2026 after 18 years; Naomi O. Seligman (age 87, a director since 2005) retired effective January 7, 2026 after 20 years. The 8-K states neither retirement resulted from any disagreement with Oracle. The departures narrowed the board to twelve before the May 2026 election of Tomislav Mihaljevic restored it to thirteen.

Disclosed in the Item 5.02 8-K filed September 22, 2025. Catz did not retire from Oracle — she continues on the Board and as Executive Vice Chair, retaining a Section 16 reporting role and continuing to help oversee strategic direction. Reading her transition together with the appointment of Magouyrk and Sicilia as co-CEOs is the right frame for the change: the operational-leadership baton passed; the founder + executive-leadership group is unchanged.

Hurd took medical leave on September 11, 2019, citing unspecified health-related reasons; the medical-leave 8-K did not disclose the underlying cancer diagnosis. Died October 18, 2019. Catz transitioned to sole CEO on the same date. Before Oracle, Hurd was CEO of HP (2005–August 2010), departing HP after an internal investigation into expense reporting connected to a sexual-harassment complaint — allegations that Hurd disputed. He joined Oracle as President in September 2010 and was promoted to co-CEO in September 2014. Oracle's October 2019 8-K announcing his death noted the loss to the company directly.

Mark Hurd and Safra Catz appointed co-CEOs simultaneously. Ellison continues at Oracle in the Executive Chair + CTO dual role to the present day. The transition was a redistribution of responsibilities rather than a step-down — see the founder-Chair-CTO governance section.

Phillips served as Oracle Co-President from 2003 to 2010 alongside Safra Catz. His departure cleared the Co-President seat that Mark Hurd filled in September 2010, immediately after Hurd's HP departure. Subsequently founded Infor (enterprise software) and served as its CEO until 2019.

Lane joined Oracle in 1992 and served as President from 1996 to 2000, widely credited with building the sales organization that drove the late-1990s growth. His departure was contemporaneously reported as a consequence of friction with Ellison; Lane subsequently became a partner at Kleiner Perkins and later non-executive Chairman of HP (2011–2013).

Designed and wrote much of the original Oracle Database code through V3 and V4. The Bob Miner Memorial Foundation, established after his death, supports lung-cancer research and education.
