Eindhoven, The Netherlands, 18 August, 2008 – NXP Semiconductors, the independent semiconductor company founded by Philips, today announced that Pascal Langlois, Senior Vice President, Global Sales, will transfer to the newly created wireless joint venture, ST-NXP Wireless, with effect from 1 September.

 

Pascal will be appointed Corporate Vice President Sales and Marketing of ST-NXP Wireless, bringing to the new company a strong track record in sales management.

 

“While I regret the loss of Pascal’s experience for NXP, I would like to congratulate Pascal on this appointment and wish him every success in the JV. We are proud that three senior executives from NXP will have key roles driving the success of ST-NXP Wireless. Pascal will work alongside Marc Cetto and Abhijit Bhattacharya who were both announced already,” commented NXP Chief Executive Officer Frans van Houten.
