AMSTERDAM, Nov. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AVG® Technologies N.V. AVG, the online security company™ for more than 200 million monthly active users, today announced that it is initiating a Chief Financial Officer transition.  During this period, John Little will remain CFO and maintain all of his existing duties until a successor is named and the transition is complete.

Gary Kovacs, AVG's chief executive officer, said, "For the past eight years, John has led AVG's finance function during a period of rapid growth and expansion, including a successful initial public offering in 2012. On behalf of the entire company and all of our stakeholders, I thank him for his years of service and his many contributions, as well as for his help in ensuring a smooth transition." 

"We've achieved a great deal over the last several years," said John Little, chief financial officer, "and I am very proud to have been a part of executing the company's vision and growth strategy for so long.  Since joining AVG in 2007, we have grown revenues more than eight fold, from around $50 million to more than $400 million.  I now feel that it is time for me hand over the reins to a new leader who can help take AVG through the next phase of its development, allowing me to focus on other areas of my life."
