Camsemi's David Baillie has been appointed to represent emerging semiconductor companies. He has for some time been a member the GSA EMEA Leadership Council.
"His vision and business acumen will add a unique emerging company perspective to the board," said the GSA.
“I appreciate the work GSA has done and look forward to collaborating with my fellow board members to represent the challenges and issues facing the industry's start-ups and emerging businesses,” said Baillie.
Baillie has worked in successful start-ups that have grown to be established companies such as LSI Logic and C-Cube Microsystems where he initially established their European operations before taking on executive management roles in the USA with worldwide responsibility.
Baillie has a Master's Degree in Microelectronics and Business Studies and a Bachelor's degree in Applied Physics, both from Durham University, UK.
Jeff Waters from Altera will represent one of the semiconductor member positions. Altera has been a GSA member since 2006 and has held a board position since 2007. Altera is also a member of the GSA's Technology Steering Committee.
Dr. Albert Wu has rejoined the board and will serve as a semiconductor member. Dr. Wu has served on the GSA Board in the past from 2006 – 2009, and his vast knowledge and support will provide the GSA with a unique market perspective and thought leadership making the board stronger and more diversified.
Dr. Wu joined Marvell Semiconductor in August 1998 as the director of manufacturing technology, supervising test development, product engineering, foundry operations, and assembly engineering activities.
