According to a tweet issued by CNBC, Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch will leave the company this week to join Apple. Neither Apple nor Adobe have confirmed the claim.

Update: Adobe has confirmed in an SEC filing that Lynch departed the firm. He left the company yesterday (March 18) to pursue other opportunities:

Excellent #WWDC today — including collaboration by Adobe and Apple on Photoshop for Retina. Thanks for the nice call out @pschiller

Apple has confirmed the move. Apple says Lynch will report to Bob Mansfield, SVP of Technologies (chips/wireless).
