Mr. Hoberman was appointed to Chief Operating Officer last June and has served in that role under Mr. Cantwell since then. This period has afforded Mr. Cantwell and Mr. Hoberman the opportunity to work together to formulate the company's long-term strategy to drive inSilicon to its next growth level and will provide for a consistent approach to executing the company's growth plan as Mr. Cantwell transitions from the company.
"The Board of Directors is pleased to have the opportunity for Barry to advance in his role and provide a cohesive leadership structure as Wayne moves on to his next role," said Albert E. Sisto, Chairman of the Board of Directors for inSilicon. "We would like to thank Wayne for his contributions to inSilicon over the past few years which yielded an independent company with significant opportunities to capitalize on its industry leading position with a strong customer base, partnership base and excellent management team.
"Barry has shown tremendous capability over the past months as he took on the lead operating role on the team," said Wayne Cantwell. "I am confident in Barry and the team's ability to execute on the strategy we have put in place over the past few months and look forward to positive results from these activities."
I am extremely pleased at the opportunity to expand my role as we drive inSilicon forward to new growth opportunities," said Barry Hoberman. "As one of the first inSilicon employees, I have had the opportunity to help define and deliver our current product portfolio. I believe that inSilicon has a quality product, marquee customers, and a great management team. I look optimistically ahead to a successful year for inSilicon."
