John McAfee has been named the chairman and chief executive officer of MGT Capital Investments Inc., marking a return to public markets about five years after the eponymous anti-virus company he founded was sold to Intel Corp. for $7.68 billion.
McAfee will oversee the small, mobile-gaming company’s move into cybersecurity. MGT is acquiring technology and assets from spyware maker D-Vasive Inc. and will change its name to John McAfee Global Technologies Inc., according to a statement Monday.
