"This week, Oracle appointed co-CEOs to lead the company into the AI age: Clay Magouyrk, who'd most recently led cloud infrastructure and AI training operations, and Mike Sicilia, who'd been overseeing industry application suites, including AI agents. (They replaced Safra Katz, who was herself a co-CEO with Mark Hurd until he resigned for health reasons before succumbing to cancer.) The rationale for the new dual leadership structure is complementary business expertise and shared commitment to AI. But it will take more than that for Magouyrk and Sicilia to work well together."

Oracle appointed Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia as co-CEOs to lead the company into the AI age. Magouyrk most recently led cloud infrastructure and AI training operations. Sicilia oversaw industry application suites, including AI agents. They replaced Safra Katz, who had been co-CEO with Mark Hurd until his resignation for health reasons and subsequent death. The board framed the dual leadership as combining complementary business expertise and a shared commitment to AI. Effective co-leadership will require aligned vision, clear decision rights, coordinated execution across infrastructure and applications, compatible incentives, conflict resolution mechanisms, and stakeholder management to translate AI ambition into results.
