24 Maio 2023 - 5:05PM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) reports that today Sir Peter
Bonfield, the Founding Chairman of NXP, has retired from his
service on the NXP Board as of the conclusion of the company’s 2023
Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) of shareholders. The Board of
Directors of NXP has appointed Ms. Julie Southern to serve as its
Chair, effective immediately. At the AGM, shareholders
overwhelmingly elected all nominated directors to the Company’s
Board of Directors, including Mr. Moshe Gavrielov, who joins the
Board as a non-executive director.
“It has been an honor and a pleasure serving as the NXP Board’s
Founding Chairman,” said Sir Peter. “Guiding NXP in its journey to
become one of the world’s most respected, influential, and
successful semiconductor companies has been a real privilege. With
Julie’s appointment as the new Board Chair, the board is in
excellent hands and the transition to a new Chair will be seamless
and successful. I wish Julie and the NXP Board all the very
best.”
Sir Peter Bonfield has served as Chairman of NXP since NXP’s
spin-out from Philips in 2006. In his seventeen years of service as
NXP’s Founding Chairman, Sir Peter has been instrumental in leading
NXP through its significant and successful transformation. Ms.
Julie Southern, who has now assumed the role of Chair of the Board,
has been a non-executive director of the board since October 2013
and the Chair of the audit committee since September 2018.
“We are fortunate and grateful to have had Sir Peter’s
thoughtful leadership and deep industry expertise since the very
start of NXP,” said Kurt Sievers, NXP’s President and CEO. “Through
the challenges and opportunities of the past seventeen years, Sir
Peter has led our Board and guided our management with great
strategic foresight. Personally, I’m very grateful for the support
he has given me as President and CEO, and for the guidance he has
provided many others on our management team and organization over
the years. Looking forward, I welcome Julie in her new role as
Chair of the NXP Board, where her expanded leadership role on the
Board and her strategic guidance and corporate experience will be a
significant asset to NXP.”
Ms. Southern is an experienced business leader who served as a
non-executive director of the board since October 2013, and has
chaired the audit committee since September 2018. As a
non-executive director, she made significant contributions to NXP's
growth and success, and her appointment as chair of the board is a
natural next step in the board's evolution.
“We acknowledge the vital role that Sir Peter has had in NXP’s
success to date, and we express our deepest gratitude for the
leadership he has demonstrated and the collaborative culture he has
nurtured in our Board,” said Ms. Southern, NXP Chair of the Board.
“I look forward to this new role and continuing to build upon the
successful foundation we have in place at NXP. As we look to the
future, we are excited to welcome Moshe Gavrielov to the Board.
Moshe’s industry knowledge and executive leadership experience will
bring welcome and important contributions to the NXP Board.”
