Conexant Announces Executive Transition Plan; President Matt Rhodes to Leave Company in June 2006
"I've had the pleasure of working closely with Matt for nearly nine years, and his unwavering dedication and leadership has served as an inspiration to the entire Conexant team," Dwight Decker said. "Matt has been a guiding force at our company, particularly over the past year as we planned and successfully executed our recovery strategy. Matt's desire to provide an appropriate transition period demonstrates his continuing commitment to our success and is a testament to his character.
"On behalf of Conexant's board of directors, I want to thank Matt for his many contributions to the Conexant cause," Decker continued. "Personally, I have greatly appreciated our partnership in leading Conexant's turnaround. I look forward to a continuing close association over the six months of his transition, and I know the Conexant team will join me in wishing him the best in his future endeavors."
"My Conexant experience has been rich and rewarding," Rhodes said. "I valued Dwight's mentoring and guidance, as well as the support I received over the years from the company's board of directors. I especially appreciate the opportunity I had to work with outstanding people at every level of the company. The progress we made on our recovery over the past year, including achieving profitability ahead of plan in the September quarter, demonstrates the resilience and determination of the Conexant team and allows me to take this step and remain confident in the company's leadership and prospects.
"The decision to transition out of Conexant was a difficult choice, but it's the right one for me at this point. I look forward to providing advice and assistance over the next six months, and then I intend to take the next step in my career. This step will involve using the skills and abilities I developed and sharpened at Conexant to lead a high-tech company from the top position."
Rhodes, 48, became president of Conexant in June 2003. Prior to that, he was president of the company's Broadband Communications segment. He also served as senior vice president and general manager of the company's Personal Computing Division. Before that, he was director of marketing for software products.
