MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., - February 7, 2006 - Sonics Inc.®, the premier supplier of system-on-chip (SoC) SMART InterconnectsTM, today announces several corporate changes aimed at managing the company’s consistent business growth in Asia.
Hayssam Balach has been promoted to vice president of Asia Operations. He was previously Sonics’ managing director of Asia Pacific. Balach’s promotion expands his responsibilities to include further development of local sales, distribution and support organizations, as well as to grow third-party partnerships/relationships throughout Asia.
