Clatterbuck has served as SVP of finance for the company's Consumer Tax Group for the last year and is acting finance leader for Intuit's Small Business Group. Clatterbuck began her tenure at the software company in March 2003. CEO Brad Smith said Williams had decided to step away from full-time employment to pursue personal goals. The next question becomes how long Smith wants to be CEO—he moved into the job in January 2008, although the sound from webcast of someone whose competitive juices are still strong.
