2024 /CNW/ -- (TSXV: SEV) (OTCQB: SPVNF) Spectra7
Microsystems Inc. ("Spectra7" or the "Company"), a
leader in high-performance analog semiconductors for broadband
connectivity markets, such as AI networks, hyperscale data centers,
and AR/VR, today announced that Raouf
Halim, Chief Executive Officer, has retired effective
June 15, 2024. Ron Pasek, current Chair of the Board of

Raouf Halim has served as CEO of

for ACCs in the hyperscale datacenter space.
"Leading Spectra7 has been an incredible honor," said Mr. Halim.
"I am extremely proud of what our team has accomplished over the
past eight years. With the most recent financing, I am confident
that the Company is well-positioned for continued success, and I
look forward to seeing it reach new heights."
Ron Pasek, who has served as
director of the Company since 2015, brings extensive experience in
technology companies and a deep understanding of Spectra7's
operations and strategic vision. As Interim CEO, he will work
closely with the executive team to ensure a seamless transition and
maintain the Company's strategic momentum.
"We are grateful to Raouf for his dedicated leadership and
numerous contributions to Spectra7," said Mr. Pasek. "As we embark
on the search for a new CEO, I am committed to working with our
talented team to continue driving our strategic initiatives forward
and delivering value to our shareholders."
Mr. Halim will continue to be a member of the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors has commenced a search for
candidates for the CEO position and will search for a qualified
leader who can build on the Company's strong foundation and drive
future growth.
Spectra7 will provide updates on the CEO search process as
appropriate.
