LONDON – Processor intellectual property licensor ARM Holdings plc (
Cambridge, England) has announced that CEO Warren East, aged 51, has decided
to retire with effect from July 1, 2013, after nearly 12 years as CEO and
nineteen at the company. Simon Segars, head of ARM's U.S. operation, will
take over as CEO.
The news was greated by a 3 percent drop in the ARM share price on the
London Stock Exchange.
East joined ARM in 1994 and within three years was appointed to the board of
directors as chief operating officer. Warren became ARM’s CEO, replacing
Sir Robin Saxby, in October 2001 and under his leadership ARM has become the
foremost designer of semiconductor IP in the world, providing processor
technology for nearly all mobile phones and many other consumer and
industrial electronic devices in use today.
Simon Segars, 45, joined the board of directors in January 2005. He is
currently President of ARM, and has operational responsibility for the
company’s IP divisions. Simon has been with ARM since 1991 and has held
several executive roles including executive vice president of engineering,
when he worked on many of the early ARM processors.
"We take a very long-term view about our business, and we believe that now
is the right time to bring in new leadership, to execute on the next phase
of growth and to plan even further into the future," said East, in a
statement. "I have worked with Simon in the senior leadership team for many
years and we share a global perspective and belief in the ARM approach to
partnership and collaboration; he is an excellent choice to lead ARM."
Warren East, aged 51, is moving on after 19 years at ARM and 12 as CEO.
In the same statement John Buchanan, chairman of ARM Holdings plc, said: "
Warren has transformed ARM during his time as CEO. In 2001 ARM had one
processor product line found mainly in mobile phones. Now ARM provides the
broadest portfolio of technologies in the industry, used by more than 300
semiconductor customers in nearly 9 billion chips last year. During Warren's
tenure the company has received royalties for over 40 billion ARM-based
chips."
"Following an extensive review of candidates worldwide, Simon’s proven
technology expertise and management skills across a range of senior
executive roles make him an excellent CEO candidate and highly qualified to
take the company forward," Buchanan added. |
