McAfee to Appoint Michael DeCesare and Todd Gebhart as Co-Presidents

McAfee also announced the resignation of President David DeWalt, who will continue as a non-employee member of the McAfee Board of Directors after serving the role of president for more than four years. As a director, he will provide strategic guidance and counsel to the more than 6,500 security experts that today comprise the world's largest dedicated security company as well as the global customer base.

"With the formation of the office of the president, we have two proven executives with long histories of accomplishment and leadership at McAfee," said James. "Intel continues to be very pleased with McAfee's performance in terms of both sales and innovation since the acquisition was announced last year. I appreciate Dave's many contributions to the company and look forward to continuing to work with him on the McAfee Board of Directors. We anticipate a smooth transition and I am confident that the incredibly talented people of McAfee will remain focused on innovation, delivering products and services that help make connecting to the digital world safer and more secure."

DeCesare joined McAfee in 2007 and most recently has been responsible for leading global operations, including manufacturing, facilities, travel and information technology, as well as worldwide sales, channels, sales engineering, consulting services and education services. Since joining McAfee in 2007, DeCesare has continued to fortify the expansion of McAfee sales around the globe, which has resulted in multiple quarters of double-digit revenue growth. He leads a team of more than 2,000 employees and is a critical driver in creating and executing the company's sales strategy.
