TI names new chairman, president/CEO and SCG president
TI's board of directors has elected Jim Adams chairman
and Tom Engibous president and chief executive officer. The two
succeed Jerry Junkins, who died suddenly on May 29. Tom has also
been elected a director of TI. Jim, a former group president of
SBC Communications Inc., has served as a TI director since January
1989. Tom previously served as a TI executive vice president and
president of the Semiconductor Group.
An office of the chairman and the chief executive
will exercise oversight responsibility for the company's global
business activities. Jim and Tom, vice chairman Bill Mitchell
and vice chairman Pat Weber will share in the responsibilities
of the office. The structure, which represents a continuation
of the team management approach employed by TI over the past several
years, will make best use of TI's depth of management experience
coupled with valuable external perspective to continue the company's
strategic direction.
Additionally, TI announced the election of Rich Templeton
as TI executive vice president and SCG president, succeeding Tom
in that capacity. Rich previously served as SCG senior vice president.
