Senator Dave Cortese presented a Senate resolution honoring Shantanu Narayan for 18 years as Adobe's chief executive and for his role in shaping the company’s evolution and local economic impact. Cortese told colleagues that Adobe’s headquarters sits in San Jose, within Senate District 15, and said Narayan’s leadership helped grow the firm into a global software company used by governments and businesses worldwide.

"Mr. Narayan's success is also a credit to his values," Cortese said, praising the company's emphasis on inclusivity and worker well-being and noting Adobe’s early remote-work response during the COVID-19 pandemic. Members joined in welcoming Narayan, his wife Rani, and their children Shravan and Arjun, who were in the gallery for the recognition. The floor observed a brief photo and applause following the presentation.

The resolution was ceremonial; no legislative action followed. It was delivered as part of the session's privileges of the floor and aimed to highlight local corporate leadership and community ties to the Bay Area.
