Ms. Cheung has served in many senior level roles at QuickLogic since joining the Company in 2007, most recently as Chief Financial Officer since August 2016. She is committed to an orderly transition of her duties and will stay with QuickLogic through its upcoming earnings announcement and call on February 17 after market close. Effective upon Ms. Cheung's departure, and until a successor has been identified, QuickLogic has appointed Mr. Anthony Contos, who recently joined QuickLogic as the Company's Corporate Controller, to serve as its interim Chief Accounting Officer.
"On behalf of the QuickLogic team, I want to extend our sincere thanks to Sue for her many contributions to the Company over the past 14 years," said Brian Faith, President and Chief Executive Officer of QuickLogic. "Sue was instrumental in building a strong finance team and managing QuickLogic's financial operations as we have executed on our transition from a component semiconductor supplier to a platform company. Sue has been a consummate professional, which was further demonstrated by her willingness to stay through the reporting of our fourth quarter and fiscal year results on February 17. We thank Sue for her leadership, partnership, and friendship and wish her success in her new endeavor."
"I am proud of what QuickLogic has accomplished. The Company is well positioned to deliver on its strategic agenda," said Sue Cheung. "I am grateful for the opportunity to have partnered with Brian and the team for so many years and to have worked with so many talented colleagues."
The Company plans to engage in a search to fill the permanent Chief Financial Officer position.
