October 1, 2007 -- Manno (Ticino), Switzerland - Shortly after completing a CHF 27m Series-C funding, and in anticipation of a new A-GPS navigation solution release, NemeriX announced today that it has appointed Mr. Luc Seraphin and Mr. Jacques Combet as Managing Directors.
Luc Seraphin, who was promoted internally to Managing Director from VP World-Wide Sales & Business Development, originally joined NemeriX from Agere Systems, where he was EVP & General Manager of the Mobile Terminals Division. Previously, Luc held a number of leadership positions within Agere, Lucent Technologies, AT&T and NEC in marketing, sales and applications.
Jacques Combet, a senior telecommunications veteran, is new to NemeriX, hailing most recently from Alcatel where he held senior management positions in the mobile phone sector for nearly a decade, in particular as President of the Mobile Phone Division. Jacques has a broad knowledge of the cellular industry, including products, services, technology providers and telecom operators. Prior to Alcatel, Jacques spent 7 years in charge of the European Consumer Division marketing operations at Texas Instruments.
Concurrent with the appointment of Seraphin and Combet as Managing Directors, Ron Torten will be appointed to NemeriX’s Board of Advisors.
