Skyworks board restructures to push product portfolio
The RF device manufacturer has made leadership changes to enhance focus and drive its products forward
Skyworks Solutions is restructuring its executive management team to increase collaboration between its front-end solutions and high performance analogue teams.
The firm aims to drive development of next generation solutions and set the stage for further market outperformance.
Liam Griffin, who previously served as executive vice president and general manager of Skyworks’ high performance analogue business, has been promoted to executive vice president and corporate general manager.
This newly created role encompasses responsibility for all of Skyworks’ business units and is designed to enhance product line performance, leverage organisational synergies and best capitalise on market opportunities.
Prior to his leadership role in high performance analogue, Griffin served as the Company’s senior vice president of sales and marketing where he gained in depth knowledge of Skyworks’ broad product portfolio.
“Skyworks is enabling mobile connectivity across some of the world’s most exciting communications platforms including smartphones, tablets and e-readers,” says David J. Aldrich, president and chief executive officer of Skyworks.
“We are capturing more content per platform than ever before and rapidly expanding our footprint in complementary new vertical markets such as automotive, medical and home automation. With our customers demanding higher levels of analogue and RF integration and placing greater value on total solutions, we are proactively driving alignment across all Skyworks teams to create a more integrated and rapid development cycle for our next generation products. Liam’s track record of success makes him the ideal person for this key leadership role.”
As part of the realignment, Gregory Waters will be leaving Skyworks following a transition period.
“We thank Greg for his instrumental role in building Skyworks’ front-end solutions franchise and are grateful for his many contributions over the years. We wish him well in his future endeavours,” Aldrich concludes.
