"I have been pretty impressed with Dave Rickey of AMCC," remarks a semiconductor professional. "I think he's done a phenomenal job. All in all, Rickey has done a fabulous job transitioning the company from more commodity-type products to the fiber optics components business, and making sure that AMCC has a very broad product line. I understand that their product portfolio spans from the O2E interface, the optical to electrical interface, all the way down to high-end products, high level products, and high layer products. We're particularly impressed with Dave Rickey's vision and focus in the right sector with the right products."
"I think Dave Rickey of AMCC was surprised by the downturn in the market," remarks another industry expert. "I think he's learned a lot on how vicious business can possibly be. I think that he is straightforward with investors now. He is right on the record."
