Oracle Loses Two Longtime Board Directors
Oracle said Friday that two longtime directors, George Conrades, 86, and Naomi Seligman, 87, have resigned from its board; Conrades served 18 years and Seligman joined in 2005. The departures follow a September leadership overhaul that replaced CEO Safra Catz with Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia, who are rapidly opening Nvidia GPU data centers for generative AI clients such as OpenAI and xAI. Oracle shares later plunged in the fourth quarter after earlier September gains tied to AI bookings.
