SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - February 19, 2008) - Silistix, a leading provider of innovative
software for the design of on-chip communications solutions, announced that
it has appointed Tim Smith as the company's Vice President of Worldwide
Field Operations. In this position Mr. Smith will manage all activities
related to sales and field-based customer support.
Prior to accepting this position, Smith was the Vice President of Worldwide
Sales at CoWare, the leading global supplier of platform-driven electronic
system-level (ESL) design software and services. During his tenure as VP of
Worldwide Sales at Sonics, prior to joining CoWare, Tim put in-place
interconnect licensing arrangements with global industry leaders.
"Silistix has a clearly differentiated solution for the most challenging
issues facing design teams in the converged digital space today," said
Smith. "The ability to deliver predictable power, performance and area is
unique in the industry and provides a huge advantage over competing
solutions in getting complex devices designed and into the market. The
ability of CHAINworks to outperform the competition in every metric, and
its ability to solve problems the competition cannot, influenced in large
part my decision to join the Silistix team."
"We are extremely pleased to have Tim join us," said David Fritz, Silistix
CEO. "His direct experience in this market and proven ability to build and
manage global sales and support organizations is a critical ingredient in
our continued growth. Smith's experience and strategic focus will enable us
