Gary Meyers Promoted To Chief Executive Officer of Synplicity
Synplicity Inc. announced Gary Meyers has been named chief executive officer of Synplicity, effective October 2, 2004, and will hold the title of president and chief executive officer. Meyers, who was recently appointed president and chief operating officer, is succeeding chief executive officer Bernie Aronson, who will remain a member of Synplicity's board of directors. Aronson is leaving Synplicity to join Kilopass Technology Inc., an early stage developer of scalable, high-density, embedded non-volatile memory solutions. Meyers' transition to president and chief executive officer completes the succession plan for Aronson.
"The Synplicity management team and Board of Directors have the highest regard for Gary's ability to lead the company," said Alisa Yaffa, Chairman of the Board and co-founder of Synplicity. "Gary has held executive positions at Synplicity for nearly six years, and his combination of technical and leadership skills, strategic thinking, and knowledge of Synplicity and the EDA industry make him the natural fit to succeed Bernie as chief executive officer."
