Symantec CEO John Thompson to step down

18.11.2008

Years before Brightmail, Salem began his career at Symantec as a 25-year-old software engineer working on Norton Utilities for Windows.

Thompson said Salem would bring new energy to the role of CEO. "Enrique's got infinitely more energy than I have," he said. "This is the perfect time for us to put someone who is as energetic and intelligent in the job to run this company."
