About Mike Downey
I focus on helping creative people use AI to help them build bigger, better things. I’m the Sr. Director of AI Community Leadership at Adobe, where I lead a team that represents the company in conversations about AI and its impact on creative work. I partner across Product, Marketing, and Communications to turn community insights into product direction, policy, and clear, timely thought leadership on topics like economic impact, responsible use, best practices, and industry standards. Before returning to Adobe I led AI Strategy and Product Innovation at DICK’S Sporting Goods and spent years in product roles at Microsoft, so I bring a practitioner’s perspective on how companies and creators can adopt AI responsibly and practically. I focus on making complex AI trends useful for creators, the teams that build their tools, and the events and communities that shape the conversation.
