Pixar Veteran Quaroni Joins Adobe as Senior Director of Engineering

Guido Quaroni has joined Adobe’s 3D & Immersive team as senior director of engineering, following 20 years of leading animation software development at Pixar, where he worked on features such Monsters University and Toy Story 3 as supervising technical director. As an expert in the 3D industry, Guido will drive innovation and grow the 3D business for the company.
In 2011, Quaroni was appointed Pixar’s vice president of software R&D where he oversaw the studio graphics and animation software, including the USD Open Source project and the Academy Award-winning animation software “Presto.”
“I’ve been a customer of Adobe’s software for a number of years, and I always admired Adobe’s commitment to provide top of the line tools to creatives,” said Quaroni. “When I heard about Adobe’s renewed interest in entering into the 3D market, given how much more pervasive the consumption of 3D content is becoming, I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of. I’m excited to be joining the Adobe team to help accelerate and grow their 3D offerings for creatives worldwide.”
