CA has revealed that Simon Perry, EMEA vice president security strategy, is leaving the company after 11 years.

Perry is returning back to his home country of Australia with his family where he is planning to launch a new career as an independent advisor and industry commentator.

No announcement on a replacement has yet been made.

In a statement, CA said: "Simon has made an immense contribution to CA's security business over the past decade. We wish him every success with is future plans and thank him for his dedication to CA over the past eleven years."

In recent months the vendor has seen a number of management changes.
