Telairity Semiconductor appoints new CFO

Telairity Semiconductor, a provider of solutions for high definition (HD) broadcast-quality video applications, has announced that John Wilhoite has joined its executive team as Chief Financial Officer.
Reporting to Howard Sachs, Telairity’s Founder, President, and CEO, Wilhoite has served as CFO for several technology companies since leaving a senior management role with Price Waterhouse.
His career highlights include stays at Intergraph Corporation, a publicly-held company with international operations, Integrated Defense Technologies Corporation, which he guided through an IPO in 2001 and sale in 2004; and several start-up companies.
“John’s span of experience as a CFO is exceptional for our industry,” Sachs said. “It ranges from taking technology start-ups through their IPOs to managing finances, mergers, and banking relationships for some very large multinational players. His ability to work with small companies and grow them, combined with his many years in leadership roles at major corporations, will be instrumental for our success as Telairity begins a new stage of rapid growth.”
Wilhoite’s experience is particularly rich in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, public companies and IPOs, high-tech and international businesses, and developing relationships with investment bankers, stock analysts, and lenders.
