It has been an honor and a privilege for me to lead Unisys and I am proud of what we have achieved in many areas, said Mr. McGrath. Id like to personally thank all of the people at Unisys for their hard work and dedication over the past few years.

The board of directors has formed a search committee that will identify and evaluate chief executive candidates. Mr. McGrath will work with the board of directors to ensure a smooth leadership transition for the customers and employees of Unisys.
