Dick Williams has decided to retire after 8 years at Webroot, and more than five decades in the business world. Webroot has named a new CEO, Mike Potts, who will start September 25. Dick will remain on Webroot’s Board of Directors. 

 

Mike brings more than 25 years of experience as a seasoned technology industry veteran spanning the application and security sectors. He most recently served as an integration executive in the security business group at Cisco after the acquisition of Lancope, where he served as president and CEO. Prior to Lancope, Mike was president and CEO of Air Defense, which was acquired by Motorola in 2008. He has a long history of driving innovation and growth and is the right person to continue our path to success at Webroot.



Dick expresses his sincere thanks and appreciation to all of our customers and advocates for helping Webroot achieve its current success, and for being incredible partners over the years.
