Leading supplier of analog
mixed-signal products, Exar Corporation (EXAR),
recently announced that it has appointed Parviz Ghaffaripour as
Senior Vice President of Connectivity and Power Management
Products. The new VP will be directly reporting to Exar’s President
and CEO (Chief Executive Officer), Louis DiNardo.
Exar designs and manufactures analog and mixed-signal integrated
circuits for communication, video and imaging products.
Connectivity and power management is one of the four product
portfolios of Exar. The others are communications products, network
security and storage optimization solutions.
Ghaffaripour previously worked as
the CEO of Akros Silicon, a privately funded power management
company. Prior to Akros, he served as the COO (Chief Operating
Officer) at Advanced Analogic Technologies, an analog semiconductor
company acquired by Skyworks Solutions Inc.
(SWKS).In addition, Ghaffaripour had previously served in technical
and management roles at Maxim Integrated Products,
Inc. (MXIM), a semiconductor manufacturing company, and
National Semiconductor which has been acquired by Texas
Instruments Inc. (TXN).
Management of Exar believes that
the return of Ghaffaripour, who started his career at Exar in 1984,
will add significant value to the firm. His rich experience from
previous stints in the analog mixed-signal industry is expected to
unleash a spate of new designs, marketing ideas and excellent
managerial capabilities for Exar. In addition, his outstanding
product knowledge and market selection capabilities are likely to
enhance Exar’s work culture.
We appreciate management’s effort to rope in an industry veteran to
boost its earnings and at the same time meet customers'
requirement.
Exar currently carries a Zacks Rank
#4 (Sell).
