Zix Corporation announced that long-serving President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rick Spurr has decided to step down from those roles after 11 years of successful leadership to pursue personal and charitable interests outside of the company. The company's board of directors has engaged a nationally recognized executive search firm to conduct a search for the new president and CEO. Mr. Spurr has agreed to assist in the search process and to remain as president and CEO to ensure a smooth transition until the employment of his successor.

He will continue to serve as a member of ZixCorp's board of directors.
