A Turkish wind a-blowin at Nasdaq

Turkish administrators have now become a new trend for global informatics firms trading at Nasdaq. After Maxim appointed Tunç Doluca as the new CEO, Intersil, another firm transacting on Nasdaq, has named Necip Sayıner as the company’s new CEO.



Global technology giants are now following the recent trend abounding in the tourism, food and retail sectors of an increased interest in bringing on Turks for high-level management positions.

Global software and hardware firms are handing over the captain's mast to the Turks. Following in the footsteps of the Nasdaq-trading Maxim Integrated, the United States' Intersil Company has also handed over their CEO position to a Turk, well-known IT specialist Necip Sayıner.

Intersil, which creates analog and mixed-signal solutions, began trading on Nasdaq in 1999 and has over 2,000 employees. As of March 14th, Sayıner becomes both the President and Chief Executive Officer of Intersil and a member of the Company's board of directors.

In other news, a mega-technology firm in the Middle East has also offered up their captain position to a Turkish administrator. Dubai-based card producers Future Card has brought on Ayhan Yalçıntaş as the firm's new CEO.
