Wollen took over the company in 2006, joining from Renesas Technology Europe where he was a board member, and also headed up the mobile and smartcard businesses, amongst others. He represented Innovision on the board of the NFC Forum and is also a board member of the NMI.
Wollen commented: “I am very proud of what we have achieved at Innovision, a global customer base second to none, the respect of colleagues in the semiconductor and NFC/RFID industries and a reputation in the City for delivering what we said.”
He continued: “However, what has been most satisfying is building up and working with a world class and well respected team of IC and systems engineers. I am very happy that this great team will go on to develop even better NFC innovations in the hands of a prestigious organisation like Broadcom, which is renowned for its communications technology and has shown great commitment to moving forward in NFC.”
Headquartered in the UK, Innovision R&T was listed in 2001 on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange (ticker symbol: INN).
