President and Chief Executive Officer Jim
Anderson Steps Down to Pursue a New Opportunity
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: LSCC), the low power
programmable leader, today announced the appointment of Esam
Elashmawi, Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer, as Interim Chief
Executive Officer effective immediately. Mr. Elashmawi’s
appointment follows the decision by Jim Anderson to step down as
President, Chief Executive Officer, and Board member to pursue an
opportunity with another company.
The Board has commenced a search process to identify a permanent
CEO and will consider internal and external candidates as part of
its search.
Mr. Elashmawi joined Lattice in 2018 and brings over 30 years of
FPGA technology and industry experience to the role. Prior to
joining Lattice, Mr. Elashmawi held the positions of Senior Vice
President and General Manager at Microsemi Corporation and Vice
President of Product Development at Actel Corporation. Earlier in
his career he co-founded SiliconExpert Technologies, a component
management software company, which was acquired by Arrow
Electronics. As Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer at Lattice,
Mr. Elashmawi has been deeply engaged with Lattice’s investment
community and customers. He also spearheaded the Company’s
strategic transformation leading to rapid product portfolio
expansion and the launch of multiple new hardware and software
solutions.
“Over the last six years, Esam has played a critical role in
Lattice’s transformation,” said Jeff Richardson, Chair of Lattice’s
Board. “I am confident that Esam and our talented executive team
will ensure a smooth transition for all our stakeholders. With
clear strategic priorities in place, and significant opportunity
for growth and value creation, the Board is confident the Company
is well positioned to build upon its track record of delivering
outstanding results.”
Mr. Richardson continued, “On behalf of the Board, I wish Jim
well and thank him for his leadership in overseeing Lattice during
a period of meaningful transformation and innovation.”
“It has been an honor to lead the exceptional team at Lattice
for the past six years,” said Mr. Anderson. “I am very proud of
what we have accomplished together, and I look forward to following
Lattice’s success.”
“We’re at an exciting time in Lattice’s history as we continue
to execute on our largest product portfolio expansion,” said Mr.
Elashmawi. “I look forward to working closely with the Lattice
Board and the management team as we build on our strong foundation
and deliver for our customers and stakeholders.”
