Hittite Microwave Corp of Chelmsford, MA, USA (which designs and supplies analog, digital and mixed-signal RF, microwave and millimeter-wave ICs, modules and subsystems as well as instrumentation) says that on 12 June its board of directors elected Gregory R. Beecher as a member of the board. Beecher was also appointed to serve as a member of its Audit Committee.
Beecher has significant industry and financial expertise, says Hittite. He has served as chief financial officer of automatic test equipment maker Teradyne Inc since 2001 and as its treasurer since 2007. Previously, he was a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, where he had an 18-year career in public accounting. He also serves on the board of directors of MKS Instruments Inc, where he is its Audit Committee chairman. Beecher received a B.S. from the University of Hartford and M.S. in Accounting from Northeastern University.
"We welcome Greg to the Hittite board and believe his experience and background is well suited to serve Hittite's needs as we implement our strategy for the future," comments chairman Franklin Weigold.
