Following Broadcom’s recent acquisition of NFC and RFID firm Innovision Research and Technology, and its filing for delisting from AIM, Innovision’s CEO, David Wollen, has announced his resignation from the company with effect from Friday 23 July.

Wollen took over the Company in 2006, joining from Renesas Technology Europe, where he was a board member, and also headed up the Mobile and Smartcard businesses, amongst others.  He represented Innovision on the board of the NFC Forum and is also a board member of the National Microelectronics Institute (NMI).

He says: “I am very proud of what we have achieved at Innovision, a global customer base second to none, the respect of colleagues in the semiconductor and NFC/RFID industries, and a reputation in the City for delivering what we said.

“However, what has been most satisfying is building up and working with a world-class and well-respected team of IC and systems engineers. I am very happy that this great team will go on to develop even better NFC innovations in the hands of a prestigious organisation like Broadcom, which is renowned for its communications technology, and has shown great commitment to moving forward in NFC.”
