  • Halla to step down as National Semiconductor boss

Brian Halla will step down as National Semiconductor's ceo at the end of November, but will remain executive chairman until next May. Halla will be succeeded by Donald Macleod, pictured, currently National's president and chief operating officer.

"This is 'the house that Donnie built' and he deserves to be its chief executive," said Halla.
Macleod, who joined National in 1978, said: "National is a leader in analogue semiconductor technology and I am delighted to be given the opportunity to leverage that leadership and strong foundation for our new National 3.0 revenue growth initiatives."
