the un-retired Citrix's Mark Templeton Shuns Retirement, Will Stay On As CEO
Citrix Systems CEO Mark Templeton, who said in January that he'd be retiring within a year, has had a change of heart.
Templeton, 61, has made "a multi-year commitment" to stay on as CEO of Citrix, the Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based vendor said Thursday.
Citrix earlier this year hired Heidrick & Struggles, the Chicago-based executive search firm that handled Microsoft's CEO search, to help find Templeton's replacement.
Templeton took a leave of absence for personal reasons last October. After he returned, told Citrix's board that he'd changed his mind and wanted to continue on as CEO, a role he's held since 2001.
