Jalal Bagherli, the highly-respected CEO of Dialog Semiconductor plc, has negotiated his way out from a potentially company-threatening overexposure to consumer electronics and IT giant Apple Inc.
That exposure could be as much as 75 percent in 2018 and with Apple known to be generally following an in-sourcing strategy the situation needed managing.
There are strong parallels with the evolution of the relationship between Apple and Imagination but Bagherli appears to have done a better job. The markets appear to think so and Dialog's share price opened up about 25 percent on the news.
