Jozef Straus as chairman brings cred to Group IV
I wrote an article in today’s Toronto Star about Group IV Semiconductor’s “coming out.” Much of what’s in the article has been written about here, but here’s a link in case you want to read. Also, just want to point out that Group IV’s chairman is Jozef Straus, the former chairman and CEO of JDS Uniphase, which if you’re familiar with the telecom industry was a giant in fibre-optics until the telecom crash. Having Straus on the board brings some real street cred to the company, along with the investment from Vinod Khosla and others.
