A new CEO takes charge at a venture-backed San Francisco factory that makes electronics for NASA and Lockheed Martin.
a tech-enabled electronics manufacturer with $75 million in venture funding, has stepped aside as chief executive in favor of Joy Weiss, a former executive at Analog Devices, the company said today.has been working to reinvent the way electronics are manufactured.
It is the third time that Weiss has taken over as CEO of a startup from a founder. She wound up at Analog Devices after it acquired a company that had purchased one of those startups, Dust Networks, which designed and manufactured wireless sensor networks for industrial applications. “This is not a new situation for me,” Weiss says. “It’s one that I really enjoy.”
As companies grow, the chief executive’s role, by necessity, changes. Entrepreneurs who start out excited by new technology or new ideas may find themselves unsuited to raising money or managing hundreds of employees. Tempo has more than 150 workers, split between software engineers and factory workers, and it continues to expand rapidly.
