"Strongly deserved," said Brian Halla. "This is 'the house that Donnie built', and he deserves to be its chief executive. I'll stay on through the 'rainy season' to make sure there are no leaks in the roof." Halla plans to retire from the Board of Directors at the end of National's fiscal year 2010 (May 30, 2010), the fourteenth anniversary of his joining the company.
Don Macleod, 61, joined National in 1978 and has served in escalating positions throughout his tenure. He rose through the Finance and European Sales and Marketing organizations before becoming vice president and chief financial officer in 1991. He was appointed to the position of executive vice president and COO in 2001 and to his current position of president and COO in 2005.
"National is a leader in analog 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," said Macleod.
In its most recent fiscal quarter, National reported $314 million in sales with gross margin of 61 percent and earnings per share of $0.14.
