February 6th 2017 - Nexperia is spun out of NXP and a new, independent, dedicated company for Discrete, Logic and MOSFET devices is born. For MOSFETs, nothing and everything changes! It's the same team in the same locations with the same desire to keep building our business. But now we are promoted from chorus-line to centre stage, a key component of the new company's ambitious growth engine - exciting times ahead!

Mining the largely commoditised world of power MOSFETs, refining features that our customers value and our competitors find difficult to imitate.If you are looking for a 175 degree C, automotive-qualified MOSFET, or a device especially suitable for motor control, hot-swap or power-over-Ethernet applications, or perhaps you just want to switch faster without spiking, then check out NXP's latest offerings. nxp.com/products/mosfets/standard_mosfets/

With the arrival of JCB at Camwatch, my role became part-time role so I started a new consultancy venture with experienced agency contacts operating across the marketing and strategy mix. We established a unique business model for selected entrepreneurial clients - think venture capital, only we invested time and expertise rather than finance to drive our clients' growth.

Joined Camwatch, Europe's largest CCTV monitoring company, as part of a venture capital-backed MBO. Developed unique, high-tech security solution for the construction sector that was more effective and less than half the cost of traditional guards. Won best innovation industry award and many new customers including Balfour Beatty, Carillion, TaylorWimpey and Network Rail. Doubled Camwatch sales in 2 years (despite construction industry recession) before the business became part of the JCB brand.

Like Pace, Dedicated Micros started as a small British company that succeeded on the world stage against multinational brands such as Sony, Samsung, Philips and GE. Against the odds, we grew sales to more than $100m, becoming the world's largest manufacturer of CCTV digital video recorders in the process.

Fascinating combination of B2C and B2B; Pace set-top boxes are today found in many millions of consumer homes around the world, yet the sales cycle was entirely focused on a small number of highly competitive pay TV businesses involved in a vicious, venture capital-fueled, digital land-grab. Innovation was the name of the game. We integrated ever more advanced technology (cable modems, hard disk drives, home networking, etc.) to enable operators to offer new services, attract new subscribers and increase ARPU (average revenue per user). And then the dotcom boom turned to bust...

Shortly after Kellogg scholarship, Creative came knocking with a big budget, technology marketing opportunity that was too good to resist. Back then, new PCs were basic and the upgrade market was big business. We put together the "Creative Collection", an integrated portfolio of audio cards, graphics cards, CD-ROM drives & speakers, and won over retailers and customers with the best technology, a blitz on the European press and attractive games bundles.

Followed my one-time boss at ST, (now Sir) Hossein Yassaie, up the M4 to take responsibility for Videologic's range of PC add-in cards featuring the company's first video acceleration chips. At the time, there was little indication that Hossein, then Technical Director, would become CEO and the company (later called Imagination Technologies) would switch to an ARM-like licensing model and deliver the technology that drives the user interface on most of today's smartphones. A huge achievement for all involved. Leaving Videologic was a tough call but the bright lights and big budgets of consumer marketing were calling...

Joined INMOS hardware development team straight from University, responsible for PC and VMEbus designs before switching to the "dark side", trading in the CAD station for a company car and a marketing expense account. Moved to USA in a business development role following ST acquisition. INMOS was a fabulous place to start a career. My LinkedIn contact list is testament to a generation of talented people who have gone on to achieve success throughout the global electronics, computing and IT industries.

Fascinating first glimpse into industry, from repairing a production line in the middle of the night, to writing my first professional software; FORTRAN routines for head of line PDP11s. Factory banter reminded me of the building sites on which I grew up, including a trip to stores for a "long weight (wait)"!
