Jeffries to Assume Chief Financial Officer Duties after 2016 Q2 Earnings Release
TEMPE, Ariz. -- LifeLock, Inc. (NYSE: LOCK), an industry leader in identity theft protection, today announced that Douglas Jeffries has been named chief administrative officer, effective immediately. Jeffries will initially oversee business development, infrastructure, and risk management and will report to LifeLock's chief executive officer, Hilary Schneider.
In addition, Chris Power, the company's chief financial officer, has announced his intention to transition out of his current role after the second quarter earnings release. At that time, Jeffries will succeed Power as chief financial officer, and Power will continue to serve in an advisory capacity with the company to ensure a smooth transition. LifeLock also affirmed its first quarter and full-year guidance for 2016, which it issued on February 10, 2016 with its 2015 earnings results.
Jeffries has more than 25 years of senior leadership experience in finance and operations, the last 15 in the technology industry. He has served as chief financial officer at RetailMeNot, Taleo Corp and Palm, Inc, and vice president of finance and chief accounting officer of eBay. Most recently, he served as executive vice president and chief financial officer of Xero.
"We thank Chris for his significant contributions to LifeLock over the past five years, including successfully taking the company public in 2012," said Schneider. "Chris has been a vital member of our leadership team during an important period in our history, demonstrating financial leadership that was critical to the company's success. We appreciate his help in ensuring a smooth and orderly transition."
Power added, "Now that we have successfully finalized our CEO succession, this is a natural time for this transition. I'm proud to have been a part of building such a great company and grateful for the opportunity to build the strong team that will continue to guide LifeLock to continued success."
"This is a tremendous opportunity," said Jeffries. "LifeLock is the leader in an industry that continues to grow and will only become more important as the threats to our identities evolve and proliferate. I look forward to working with Hilary and the rest of her talented team to ensure that the company is best positioned to capitalize on opportunities to innovate and differentiate its services going forward."
Before joining the technology industry in 1996, Jeffries held senior finance and information technology leadership roles in the health care industry. He began his career at Price Waterhouse Coopers, where he worked from 1979 to 1990 in the firm's Sacramento, New York and San Francisco offices.
