McAfee has opened a new facility in City Gate, Mahon, Cork, following the company’s announcement last September of the creation of 100 new jobs, bringing its total workforce to 280, with its Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) inside sales team.
McAfee has had operations in Cork since 2004, with its previous Irish headquarters located at EastGate, Little Island. The inside sales organisation was created with the support of the Irish Development Agency and will service mid market customers across the region.
According to McAfee, its office in Cork is the headquarters for much of the company’s international operations, including global localisation and product readiness, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) finance, procurement, operations and logistics for EMEA and Asia Pacific, as well as EMEA inside sales.
David Quantrell, president of EMEA, McAfee, said: “I’m thrilled to be here in Cork today, along with Batt O’Keeffe, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation, and our president and chief executive officer, Dave DeWalt. The new office really consolidates our presence here in Cork and I look forward to many years of working with the team here in Ireland.
“Since we established our presence six years ago, this team has not only been at the heart of much of what the company does in EMEA, but also our Asia Pacific and international markets.”
