Lee Sharrocks VP Consumer Sales at Symantec EMEA

Lee Sharrocks has been appointed Vice President Consumer Sales Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at Symantec. In his new role, Sharrocks will be responsible for growing Symantec’s Norton Consumer business across all channels including retail, online, through partners and by exploring new delivery mechanisms.

Sharrocks succeeds Kevin Chapman as VP EMEA Consumer Sales after Chapman was promoted to Vice President Consumer Sales Worldwide Regions. Sharrocks was previously Director of Consumer Sales for Northern Europe and Emerging Markets, which included the UK, Nordics, Greece, Israel, Turkey, Middle East and Africa, and has been with Symantec for six years.

“Symantec is ideally positioned to retain its global leadership in the security category and has recently outlined its ‘zero-impact’ security performance goals for the new 2009 line-up of Norton Internet Security and Norton AntiVirus. Symantec’s technology and innovation continue to clearly differentiate us from our competition and I am delighted to take on the challenge of leading Symantec’s Consumer business in EMEA as we redefine the market,” said Sharrocks.
