Sheffield, UK (PRWEB) May 12, 2005 -- As part of its strategy to exploit the
low power wireless sensor market – forecast by West Tech Research to exceed 550
million units in 2009 – fabless chip firm Jennic has appointed Mike Clancy as VP
worldwide sales. Clancy joins the company from Wolfson Microelectronics, where
as vice president of worldwide sales he increased sales to $120million over 16
successive quarters.
Mike Clancy has over 20 years semiconductor
industry experience in senior sales and management roles. He was a key member of
the team that saw Wolfson transition from a services company through a public
offering in 2003. Prior to that Clancy held a senior international sales
position at GEC Plessey Semiconductor where he was responsible for all sales
activity in the Asia Pacific region.
Jim Lindop, CEO and founder of
Jennic commented, “Based on our strong track record in engineering Jennic has
developed a single-chip solution for wireless sensor networks based on the
IEEE802.15.4 standard that is smaller, cheaper and lower power than other
solutions. I look forward to Mike bringing his firmly established experience and
track record in sales to take our technology to market. He has had particular
success in major companies in Asia and I have every confidence in him building a
first class worldwide sales channel for Jennic.”
