WILLIAM S. MCKIERNAN is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
CyberSource Corporation. He is an online commerce pioneer. He founded
the company that would become CyberSource in 1994. It quickly became one
of the world's first organizations to build a Website equipped with the
now-familiar 'buy' button-but that was hardly the company's only
innovation. CyberSource originated the concept of the Internet commerce
suite, which allows companies to outsource e-commerce transaction
services on an as-needed basis, obviating their need to build and
maintain costly and complex commerce infrastructures. Prior to founding
CyberSource Mr. McKiernan was President and Chief Operating Officer of
McAfee Associates, now Network Associates. He held that position during
the company's initial public offering. Before joining McAfee, Mr.
McKiernan was Vice President of Princeton Venture Research, Inc., and
held management positions at ROLM/IBM. Mr. McKiernan holds a BS from
Boston College and an MBA from the Harvard Business School. Profile
