TI Gilles Delfassy to Retire from Wireless Unit

Texas Instruments announced that Gilles Delfassy, senior vice president and head of TI's wireless terminals unit, will retire. He has been at the helm of the company's successful wireless terminals unit since its inception in 1995, growing it into a multibillion dollar operation. Under his guidance, TI became the world's leading supplier of semiconductors for wireless handsets.



Effective immediately, TI has promoted Greg Delagi to senior vice president and leader of the operation, which develops semiconductors for cell phones. Delagi has presided over the launch of the industry's first 1-gigahertz DSP and the new DaVinci family of hardware and software for video applications.
