Another mysterious exit

CEO of Chinese RAM and SSD maker YMTC Simon Yang appears to have stepped down from his position, following other senior Chinese chipmaking execs.

Reports appeared on Chinese media that the decision for CEO Simon Yang to step down and assume his new role as executive vice chairman was the result of a 28 September board meeting, although Digitimes claims it was for personal reasons.

Yang will be replaced by Chen Nanxiang, a former general manager at China Resources Microelectronics. No reason has been given for the change.

During his reign he apparently "lead the company to success in the field of 3D NAND flash memory, from 32-layer technology to the successful research and development of 64-layer chips, proposed the world's unique Xtacking technology, and then reached the world's advanced level of 128-layer flash memory chips.
