Again: people have very weird ideas about what a CTO does. Kurtz was a "CTO" at MCAF after it purchased Foundstone, the not-small security product and consulting firm where he was CEO. If you think George Kurtz was writing (or even looking at) code at McAfee, you don't understand the role. Moreover, if you think the security products CTO had anything whatsoever to do with McAfee's AV engine, which might as well have been engineered on the moon as far as the security product people were concerned, you don't know McAfee (I had the brief pleasure of working there, after they bought Secure Networks.)
