PRESS RELEASE | Nijmegen, the Netherlands | August 29, 2024
Chip Integration Technology Center (CITC) today announced the appointment of Toni Versluijs as the new chairman of its Supervisory Board. Versluijs will serve as the incoming chairman from September through December. Effective January 1, 2025, he will take over the responsibilities from chairman Roel Fonville who is retiring.
Versluijs has an extensive background of more than 25 years in the semiconductor industry, of which more than 15 years in general and executive management roles. Prior to this appointment, he worked for NXP, where he led the In-Vehicle Networking product line and was NXP Nijmegen site director and statutory director of NXP Netherlands. Most recently, he led the Business Group MOS at Nexperia, served as statutory director for Nexperia in the UK and was part of the company’s global executive leadership team.
He explains his choice for CITC: “I look forward to using my many years of experience in the semiconductor industry to contribute to the success of CITC in Nijmegen. Nijmegen is a location with a long heritage in semiconductor packages that have changed the world. CITC is a unique venture and has a unique position between private parties, the academic world and knowledge institutes.”
CITC is a smaller and different kind of organization than his previous employers, but Versluijs sees the potential: “CITC has attracted quite some talent in recent years, built partnerships and initiated new developments. In short: it has laid the foundation for growth, and it will flourish in the coming years. I am convinced that it has the potential to change the world of semiconductor packaging again”.
The current chairman of the CITC Supervisory Board, Roel Fonville, adds: “The Supervisory Board is very pleased to welcome Toni Versluijs to our midst. His personality and broad experience in the industry and in the Nijmegen region will help the Board to fulfill its role in securing the continued development of the organization.”
