'Arm' has named former Splunk chief Jason Child as CFO as it prepares itself for a potential public listing following the collapse of a proposed sale to Nvidia Corp. for $40bn in March.
Reporting to CEO Rene Haas, Child is set to join the firm on 2 November this year, leveraging his prior experiences at Splunk, Groupon, and Coupang to help lead the British semiconductor design firm’s global finance and IT organisations.
He will replace current CFO Inder Singh who will remain at Arm in an advisory role and assist in the transition through November before moving to a new opportunity.
“Jason is an experienced leader in global finance and technology,” said Haas. “His extensive experience in financial management at public companies and IPO execution will be invaluable in preparation for a potential public listing.”
Additionally, the firm has added two new board members: Karen Dykstra, former Chief Financial and Administrative Officer of AOL, and Jeff Sine, Co-Founder and Partner of Raine Group.
