(Reuters) -Companies are increasingly opting for a co-CEO structure as their operations become expansive, diverse and complicated.

Notably, Oracle, Comcast ( CMCSA ) and Spotify ( SPOT ) have recently appointed joint CEOs to oversee their business operations, reflecting the growing trend among high-profile firms to share top leadership roles.

Below is a list of companies that have adopted such a structure:

Spotify ( SPOT )

The audio streaming platform announced Gustav Söderström, currently co-president and chief product and technology officer, and Alex Norström, currently co-president and chief business officer, as co-CEOs, effective January 1, 2026.

COMCAST ( CMCSA )

The media and telecom major appointed Michael Cavanagh as its first co-CEO on Tuesday, effective January 2026. He will serve alongside existing CEO Brian Roberts. Cavanagh will also be named to Comcast's ( CMCSA ) board.

Oracle

The enterprise software maker named insiders Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia as co-CEOs, replacing Safra Catz, who was named vice chair of the board after 11 years at the helm.

NETFLIX ( NFLX )

The streaming giant transitioned to a dual CEO model in July 2020 when Ted Sarandos was promoted to the top job alongside then-CEO Reed Hastings.

In January 2023, Hastings stepped down, and Greg Peters was promoted to join Sarandos.

Sarandos leads content, marketing and legal affairs, while Peters focuses on technology, product development and operations.

KKR

The private equity firm appointed co-presidents Scott Nuttall and Joseph Bae as co-CEOs in 2021, succeeding the company's billionaire co-founders Henry Kravis and George Roberts.

Bae focuses on private markets and Asia expansion, while Nuttall leads on credit, capital markets, insurance and the firm's overall balance sheet.

LENNAR ( LEN )

The U.S. homebuilder's current chief executives are Stuart Miller and Jon Jaffe. Miller was appointed as co-CEO to join Jaffe when Rick Beckwitt decided to step down.

Both executives shape the company's strategy, overseeing homebuilding operations and leading initiatives like mergers and acquisitions.

GENSLER

Architecture and design firm Gensler is led by Elizabeth Brink and Jordan Goldstein, both of whom were appointed in 2024, succeeding the previous pair Andy Cohen and Diane Hoskins.

Brink and Goldstein share responsibilities of day-to-day operations.

SERES THERAPEUTICS ( MCRB )

Shaff remains in the company as a director.

SHARPLINK GAMING

SharpLink has been raising funds to acquire cryptocurrencies, including ether, to work as a crypto treasury vehicle, mimicking the playbook of Michael Saylor's Strategy.

IREN ( IREN )

Bitcoin miner IREN ( IREN ) is run by co-founders Daniel Roberts and Will Roberts. The brothers serve as co-CEOs.
