Symantec gets new Leader
Symantec has announced that Enrique Salem, President and CEO, has stepped down effective immediately and Symantec's board of directors has appointed Steve Bennett as the president and chief executive officer, in addition to his continued role as chairman of the board.
"Enrique Salem has been a significant contributor during his 19 years' association with Symantec, including the last three years as CEO. While progress has been made over the last three years in many areas, it was the board's judgment that it was in the best interests of Symantec to make a change in the CEO," said Steve Bennett, Chairman, President and CEO.
"The board's decision to make a leadership change was not based on any particular event or impropriety but was instead made after ongoing consideration and a deliberative process. We are fortunate as a board to be able to name Steve as CEO and achieve continuity in leadership. Steve understands the company well, had a great track record at Intuit and General Electric and is a perfect fit for moving the company forward," said Dan Schulman, Symantec's newly-appointed Lead Director.
