You've met Dale, too... huh...

Dale's a great guy. Did he put a red McAfee sticker on your booth? He did on Symantec's booth at RSA.

He's the former CEO of McAfee. You're gonna need to reach out to Dave DeWalt now.

Dale is now (as of about a month ago, actually) the Chairman of the Board over at Phoenix. Yeah, the VC crew almost got them to go private. Dale was in place at McAfee ONLY when the plan (not really a plan... but a thought) was for McAfee to be sold. They've changed direction now with Dewalt at the helm.

Best Regards,

Security software maker McAfee (nyse: MFE - news - people ) has turned the CEO reigns over to Dave DeWalt to guide them through their own backdating problems. McAfee has previously announced that it plans to restate several quarters of financial results as part of correcting 10 years of questionable options grants. In sum, they are expected to receive between $100 million and $150 million in charges. In May, McAfee fired its president and announced the retirement of CEO George Samenuk. If that weren't bad enough, former general counsel Kent Roberts now faces federal charges for his involvement in backdating.
