TI Board Names Weber as Acting President and CEO
DALLAS (May 30, 1996) -- At a special meeting yesterday afternoon, the
Texas Instruments Board of Directors designated William P. (Pat) Weber
to act as president and chief executive officer of the company while the
Board works through the process of naming a successor to Jerry R.
Junkins. Junkins, who had been president and CEO since 1985 and
chairman since 1988, died suddenly while on a business trip in Germany
on Wednesday.
By designating Weber as the focal point for decisions, TI utilizes the
strong management structure that has been in place for the past several
years.
TI established an office of the chief executive in 1993, comprised of
Junkins and Vice Chairmen Pat Weber and William B. Mitchell. At the
same time, TI created a Strategy Leadership Team comprised of the
company's senior operations and staff officers. Both of these
structures embody a management philosophy based on teamwork and
partnership. Mitchell and Weber will continue working together in the
office of the chief executive, and the Strategy Leadership Team remains
unchanged.
"One of Jerry's great legacies is that he built a strong, global
management team that shares a common vision and strategy. We will miss
him terribly as a leader and as a friend. The best way we can pay due
honor to Jerry is to move steadfastly ahead toward our goals for Texas
Instruments," Weber said.
Background on Weber
Weber has been a member of TI's board of directors since 1984. Prior to
joining the office of the chief executive, Weber was president of the
company's largest business, semiconductors, from 1986 to 1993, where he
led the business through a fundamental transition in technology,
products, capacity, and marketing.
Since joining TI in 1962, Weber has held a number of positions in TI's
semiconductor, international, defense, digital systems, consumer, and
material/controls businesses. He also has held corporate assignments
overseeing strategic planning, marketing, research and development,
licensing, and communications. Weber was directly involved in the
strategic redirection of TI business, international, and intellectual
property strategies.
In addition to his TI duties, Weber participates in a range of
activities in business, government, civic affairs, and education. He is
a member of the board of directors of Kmart Corporation. He is board
chairman of the Semiconductor Industry Association and a board member of
the Pacific Basin Economic Council, and the U.S.-Japan, U.S.-Korea, and
U.S.-Philippines Business Councils. He also serves on The University of
Texas at Dallas Development Board.
Weber holds a bachelor of science in industrial engineering from Lamar
University and a master of science in engineering from Southern
Methodist University.
He is married and has two daughters.
