Saying that 10 years is long enough, Symantec CEO John W. Thompson revealed in mid-November that he will be stepping down from his role as top cop at Symantec early in 2009. In his time there, Thompson took Symantec from a $632 million consumer antivirus company to an enterprise storage and security powerhouse with more than $6 billion in sales. Thompson will be followed by current COO Enrique Salem, who takes over April 4, 2009.
