CamSemi strengthens board

UK: CamSemi announced a further strengthening of its board with the appointment of Simon Knowles, co-founder of both Element 14 and Icera - two of the UK’s most successful venture-backed semiconductor companies.

Knowles joins as a non-executive director to provide CamSemi with additional strategic guidance as the company continues to experience rapid and sustained sales growth for its cost-efficient power management ICs.

David Baillie, CamSemi CEO, said: “CamSemi is very fortunate to have someone with Simon’s vision and track record join our board.  Simon brings nearly 30 years’ semiconductor industry experience, in the dual roles of engineering innovator and entrepreneur and has both invented and brought to market some breakthrough semiconductor technologies, including Nvidia's multi-standard cellular modem processor and Broadcom’s world-leading DSL processor.

"His strategic insight and in-depth knowledge of the consumer electronics sector will be invaluable as we continue to develop our business, strengthen our position in key markets and deliver new products.”
