In September 2019, the lady's partner Hurd announced he was taking leave from work for health reasons though he did not specify the details. Mark informed in a short letter saying:

"Though we all worked hard together to close the first quarter, I’ve decided that I need to spend time focused on my health."

The CEO further stated:

"I love Oracle and wish you all success during my absence.”

The CEO also stated that while he is gone, Oracle's founder Larry Ellison, and chief technology officer will handle Hurd's responsibilities along with the other CEO Safra Catz.
