Global Technology Conference 2011
I went to the second Global Technology Conference yesterday. It started with a keynote by Ajit Manocha who is the CEO of about 2 months. I hadn't realized until someone asked him during the press lunch that he is technically only the "acting" CEO. Actually, given his experience he might be the right person anyway, rather than just a safe pair of hands in the meantime. He was Chief Manufacturing Officer for NXP (nee Philips Semiconductors) and so already has, as he put it, experience of running multiple fabs in multiple countries. When asked if he might become the permanent CEO he basically said that he'd advised the board to look for the best person possible. And then he added that, of course, if he didn't deliver he'd be out of a job anyway.
