McAfee CEO Peter Leav to step down

Cybersecurity firm McAfee Corp appointed consumer tech veteran Greg Johnson as chief executive officer. He has been appointed succeeding Peter Leav who will step down.

Johnson’s appointment comes as part of McAfee’s dive into a pure-play consumer protection company. This began following the divestment of its enterprise security business in 2021.

Under Leav’s leadership, the firm was taken private by a consortium. And that is led by U.S. private equity firm Advent International. And that too in a $14 billion deal in November.
