Mark Hurd, a tech industry tycoon and the co-CEO of Oracle, died on Friday, according to co-founder Larry Ellison. Hurd was 62.
"It is with a profound sense of sadness and loss that I tell everyone here at Oracle that Mark Hurd passed away early this morning," Ellison wrote in a statement posted to Hurd's website."Mark was my close and irreplaceable friend, and trusted colleague."
"I know that many of us are inconsolable right now, but we are left with memories and a sense of gratitude ... that we had the opportunity to get know Mark, the opportunity to work with him ... and become his friend," Ellison said. Hurd joined Oracle as president in 2010 and was named co-CEO four years later. He has been credited with leading Oracle's push toward investing in cloud computing.
