Clay Magouyrk
Clay Magouyrk is Co-Chief Executive Officer of Oracle, a role he was elevated to in 2025 alongside Mike Sicilia, as Oracle reorganized its executive leadership with Safra Catz moving to Executive Vice Chair of the Board. Magouyrk is best known for his instrumental role in building and scaling Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), which he led as Executive Vice President. Under his stewardship, OCI emerged as a serious competitor to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, winning major enterprise and AI workload contracts and becoming a critical backbone for data-intensive industries including advertising technology, financial services, and healthcare. Magouyrk joined Oracle and rose through the ranks by focusing on the technical depth and reliability of OCI, championing a second-generation cloud architecture designed for performance, security, and cost efficiency. His leadership helped Oracle secure landmark deals — including a high-profile partnership with Microsoft and significant AI infrastructure commitments — contributing to Oracle's rapidly growing cloud backlog, which surpassed $130 billion. His engineering-first approach and ability to translate infrastructure capability into enterprise value distinguished him as one of the most consequential cloud executives of his generation. While Magouyrk's background is rooted in cloud infrastructure rather than AdTech specifically, his work is deeply relevant to the advertising technology ecosystem. OCI underpins data clean rooms, identity resolution platforms, and large-scale programmatic data processing for major publishers and advertisers. As Co-CEO, he now oversees Oracle's entire technology and business portfolio, including its advertising and data cloud assets, positioning him as a significant force shaping how enterprise cloud infrastructure enables the next generation of data-driven marketing.
