Arthur van der Poel brings decades of experience in senior positions in the global semiconductor and microelectronics ecosystem. He was previously CEO of Philips Semiconductors and has held leading positions on the boards and management committees of several technology leaders, including ASML. In addition, he has played a key role in promoting European cooperation in the semiconductor sector through his leadership positions in major research and development initiatives.
At Alixlabs, van der Poel will advise the company on long-term strategy, industry partnerships, and scaling opportunities for its flagship product APS, with a particular focus on the requirements of the semiconductor market.
As Arthur van der Poel joins the advisory board, Jacques Kools, who began his career at Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven, is stepping down from his position. Kools has made a significant contribution to the development of Alixlabs, providing advice and support to the company during important phases of its growth.
Jacques Kools leaves the Advisory Board with the company's full appreciation and best wishes, while the appointment of Arthur van der Poel strengthens Alixlabs' advisory network with regard to the future of semiconductor technology.
