British semiconductor and software design company, Arm Ltd that primarily deals with the design of ARM processors has announced to onboard Splunk Inc’s top executive Jason Child as its new chief financial officer, as the chip designer prepares for a public listing.
The new crucial appointment comes just ahead of the company’s plan to go public. Masayoshi Son, the founder and chief executive officer of Soft Bank Group Corp, said in June the conglomerate was most likely to list Arm on Nasdaq and that there were requests to list the company in London.
Child, who stepped down as software maker Splunk Inc’s finance chief on Monday, will succeed Inder Singh and join the company on Nov. 2 this year, Arm said.
