An expert in cybersecurity strategy and transformation, Yip brings extensive experience to the role from a variety of leadership, advisory, sales, marketing, product management, consulting and technical roles across Europe and Asia Pacific for companies including EY, IBM, CA Technologies and NetIQ. Since December 2016, Ian has also served as Professional Advisory Board Member, Faculty of Engineering and IT for the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).
Yip comments, “McAfee has enjoyed an impressive near thirty years of security excellence and with the recent transition of the brand from Intel Security, it feels like the perfect juncture to be joining the company. I am extremely excited about driving McAfee’s strategic technical direction forward across the APAC market, and it’s my goal to ensure that we remain the standout cybersecurity offering that is at once bold, trusted, collaborative and driven to achieve the best business outcomes for our customers, whilst maintaining the appropriate level of protection.”
Gavin Struthers, Senior Vice President and President Asia Pacific Sales, McAfee adds, “Ian has remarkable strategic leadership experience and is the perfect fit for a renewed McAfee. The increasing global realisation of the importance of cybersecurity has revealed the clear security skills gap that exists in our industry, but as McAfee continues in our growth mode, a huge focus for us is increasing the level of threat intelligence sharing across the industry through our Security Innovation Alliance ecosystem. We welcome his strategic guidance in driving McAfee forward to the benefit of individuals, organisations and governments across the APAC Region.”
