While we will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region, given the experience of our management team, our acquisition and value creation strategy will be to identify, acquire, and build a Silicon Valley-based technology company with applications in the energy or industrial sectors.

Thurman J. “T.J.” Rodgers is our CEO, chairman and founder. After starting Cypress Semiconductor, he and his team received funding in April 1983, and took the company public in just 37 months, during which time a new wafer fabrication plant was built and commissioned. He served 34 years as the company’s CEO until his retirement in 2016, by which time Cypress had grown to $1.8 billion in annual revenue and built four manufacturing plants, three of which are in the U.S. Dr. Rodgers received 17 of his 20 U.S. patents while at Cypress and has been inducted into the Silicon Valley Engineering Hall of Fame.
