CEO and Chair Vincent Roche is a long-tenured operator with a track record across multiple cycles and large integrations (Linear, Maxim).

Governance appears conventional with a largely independent board and strong cash return discipline. 2025 proxy materials show continued shareholder engagement and approval of say-on-pay, and filings indicate CEO equity alignment through shares and performance options.

We note some mixed engineer sentiment on public forums regarding technical support responsiveness for certain product lines, an execution area to keep watching post-Maxim.
