When Two Leaders Are Better Than One

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.
