Kaspersky Lab
Kaspersky became CEO of Kaspersky Lab in 2007. According to a 2008 article in "USA Today," he traveled to 20 to 30 countries per year promoting Kaspersky Lab products. In early 2009, "CRN" said his personality contributed to the company's growth from "relative obscurity to now nipping at the heels of its larger, better-known rivals." At the time, Kaspersky Lab was the fourth largest endpoint security company. It introduced new products for the enterprise market and expanded its channel programs.
