Ip brings more than two decades of experience across the finance and technology sector to support the company\u2019s next phase of profitable growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ip will lead finance for both Malwarebytes and ThreatDown, the former corporate business unit of Malwarebytes, overseeing accounting, financial planning and analysis, investor relations, IT, legal and the people team. He will focus on building upon the strong growth of Malwarebytes with consumers, enabling the company to move faster in a threat landscape that is only getting more complex.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChung\u2019s appointment is a clear signal of where\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0going.\u00a0We\u2019re\u00a0scaling the business with intent,\u201d said Marcin Kleczynski, Founder and CEO, Malwarebytes. \u201cMalwarebytes has increased its annual ARR growth rate by more than 3x in the last three years. Chung\u2019s experience will help us manage continued growth acceleration.\u00a0He\u00a0knows how to build financial discipline without slowing momentum, and\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0exactly what this next phase demands.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ip most recently served as CFO of Cleo, a category-creating fintech company that leverages its AI financial assistant to help users navigate their daily financial challenges. During his tenure, he helped scale the company from 90 to nearly 600 employees while driving exponential revenue growth and achieving profitability. Prior to Cleo, Ip spent 15 years as a private equity and special situations investor at Accel-KKR and Outrider Management, bringing deep experience in corporate strategy and long-term value creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ip\u2019s appointment reflects a broader shift across the cybersecurity industry. As AI-driven threats accelerate and scams industrialize, a huge opportunity is being created for companies like Malwarebytes which focuses on helping consumers protect their digital lives with its award-winning antivirus, VPN, scam detection and identity protection solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat drew me here is the opportunity to build for the people and teams that need it most,\u201d Ip said. \u201cThreats are getting more advanced, teams are getting stretched, and at the same time scams are scaling fast, hitting everyday people in more convincing ways. It\u2019s a real problem, but it\u2019s solvable with the right technology and focus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To read more about the latest threats and cyber protection strategies, visit the Malwarebytes\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.malwarebytes.com\/blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blog<\/a>, or follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Malwarebytes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/malwarebytesofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>,\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/malwarebytes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>,\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@malwarebytesofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TikTok,<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Malwarebytes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reddit<\/a>\u00a0and \u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Malwarebytes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">X<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hire signals next phase of growth as company outpaces broader consumer security market&nbsp; SANTA CLARA, Calif. \u2013 May\u00a06, 2026 \u2013\u00a0Malwarebytes, a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":5849,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[184,14,16,17,24],"blog_type":[],"class_list":["post-5937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases","tag-cybersecurity","tag-malwarebytes","tag-marcin-kleczynski","tag-news","tag-security"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.1 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
