- Symantec Corp’s chief executive officer stepped down unexpectedly on Thursday, the same day the antivirus software maker issued a profit warning, sending the shares plunging in after-hours trading.
Symantec said CEO Greg Clark will be replaced by director Richard Hill on an interim basis. Hill was formerly CEO of semiconductor maker Novellus Systems, giving him experience in enterprise sales, an area where Symantec has faltered. The software company also said it expects first-quarter profit between 30 cents and 34 cents per share, below estimates of 40 cents per share.“This is a disaster of epic proportions. The guidance combined with abrupt CEO departure will be a major gut punch to the Street. There are a lot of questions with minimal answers,” Daniel Ives, analyst at Wedbush said.
The leadership change follows multiple key executive exits at Symantec late last year, including the chief operating officer and the chief marketing officer.
