Thomas tapped as CEO at Air Semi

LONDON — Air Semiconductor (Swindon, England) has appointed Hugh Thomas as its CEO, signaling a new phase for the company as it moves from product development to commercialization.

The start-up, which was founded 18 months ago with first round funding from Pond Ventures, claims its proprietary technology and IP provides continuous and instant location that eliminates the traditional Time To First Fix (TTFF) problems associated with assisted GPS --- yet drains negligible power from mobile devices.

Thomas has 20 years experience in the semiconductor and cellular handset industries, with a track record of growing startup companies from pre -funding/development stage through to production and exit.

Previously Thomas was the CEO of TapRoot Systems, an embedded software company, where he grew the company to over 100 employees with worldwide operations within 4 years, and achieved profitability within 6 months of fund raising.
