New hires underpin McAfee Australian, APAC expansion

Business IT - Security

Despite the current economic environment, which he describes as “challenging”, Littleproud says McAfee continues to deliver strong business results and this is the platform on which he claims McAfee is building industry leadership.

“Customers from enterprise to consumers continue to see the value in our unique and comprehensive security solutions, which provide improved protection, increased manageability and better return on their security investments.”

On the new executive appointments, Littleproud says Jacqui Donovan, as McAfee’s APAC regional marketing director, will focus on growing McAfee’s profile and market share across Asia Pacific, developing emerging market growth strategies and driving sales demand for the company’s security solutions.

Littleproud says Donovan, with more than 20 years experience in the software industry, was Symantec’s first employee in the Asia Pacific region, where she was responsible for the creation of that company’s international marketing & product management function to support all international markets.

David Sykes - responsible for McAfee's strategic accounts and alliances in Asia Pacific - says Littleproud, also worked with Symantec, where he was managing director and VP of the Pacific region and senior director of Symantec’s enterprise business based in Hong Kong. Sykes also worked with Computer Associates, including as Australian general manager and New Zealand managing director.

The appointment of Paul Wilcox as lead specialist, Asia Pacific – risk and compliance, Littleproud says, adds 20 years experience in the IT industry to McAfee’s top management team.
