Qorvo announces planned retirement of former RFMD CFO Priddy

Qorvo Inc of Greensboro, NC and Hillsboro, OR, USA, a provider of RF solutions for mobile, infrastructure and aerospace/defense applications, says that executive VP of administration Dean Priddy plans to retire at the end of the current fiscal year.

Priddy's career in technology began at Analog Devices Inc and includes 23 years at RF Micro Devices Inc and Qorvo. Prior to his role as executive VP of administration of Qorvo, he was chief financial officer of RFMD since 1997.

"Dean's contributions over the past 23 years have played a vital role in guiding RFMD to its many successes and, ultimately, in the creation of Qorvo," comments Qorvo's president & CEO Bob Bruggeworth. "Most recently, Dean and his team assembled the foundation for Qorvo to capture at least $150m in cost synergies, and we believe the projects are in place for Qorvo to exceed our goals. Dean's many contributions have extended into nearly every aspect of our organization," he adds.

"At Qorvo, we have assembled an exceptional team empowered to execute to our value capture plan, and I'm confident in our team's ability to exceed our stated synergy goals," says Priddy. "The foundation is set, the funnel is filled, and Qorvo is positioned exceptionally well for continued success," he believes.
