Janice Chaffin Is One Of The Most Powerful Women In The Tech Sector!
In the tech sector, it is shocking how many businesses are run exclusively by men, even in the United States. It is interesting to note, then, that the businesses in the technology sector that have influential women as corporate officers are also some of the industry’s most successful operations. One influential technology company with a prominent woman on their management team is the Symantec Corporation. Their powerful woman is none other than Janice Chaffin!
Janice Chaffin is the President of the Consumer Business Unit at Symantec. As Group President, Chaffin is responsible for leading the division of Symantec that creates and distributes all the products people associate with Symantec. Best known for its antiviral program, Symantec’s Consumer Business Unit generates two billion dollars in revenue for the company each year. That makes Chaffin indispensible to the revenue stream of the company.
As a summa cum laude graduate of the University of California at San Diego, Janice Chaffin illustrated keen business acumen and a strong interest in business administration. She pursued her Master’s in Business Administration from UCLA where she graduated as a Henry Ford Scholar. Chaffin entered the workforce in the marketing department of Hewlett-Packard. She distinguished herself there by applying her business and marketing skills to their technology applications. She rose rather fast from the marketing department to general management positions at HP. After twenty-one years of applying her skills to making HP profitable, Chaffin joined the Symantec team.
At Symantec, Janice Chaffin pioneered the position of Chief Marketing Officer. In that role, Chaffin helped Symantec achieve market dominance in the field of antiviral software. The Board of Directors of Symantec rewarded her with a promotion to President of the Consumer Business Unit. As the head of the Consumer Business Unit, she has ensured that Norton remains synonymous with computer antivirus protection around the whole world.
Not simply content to follow the path of those who came before her, Janice Chaffin continues to pioneer advances in antivirus software and parental control software. In 2010, Chaffin the Family Online Safety Institute awarded her an Outstanding Achievement Award. A strong proponent of free speech, Chaffin promoted the development of software at Symantec that would allow parents to better monitor and protect their children from inappropriate conduct.
Beloved by those who fight to keep the Internet free, championed by family-oriented groups, and consistently delivering Symantec results that keep the company a world leader, Janice Chaffin is a very cool executive!
