Leadership has turned over twice in a year. Young-Joon (YJ) Kim, chief executive and a director who had filed as an insider since 2013, signed a separation agreement dated August 11, 2025, and that day Camillo Martino, chairman since June 2020 and a director since August 2016, became interim chief executive. Martino had run Silicon Image from January 2010 until its sale to Lattice Semiconductor in March 2015. Chae Lee then became chief executive under a service agreement effective July 1, 2026, the date Martino's interim executive agreement was terminated, and signs the company's August 2026 quarterly report as chief executive officer. 1234567
