“We are excited to welcome Jim Moniz to the Nanometrics management team,” commented Timothy J. Stultz, president and chief executive officer. “After an exhaustive five-month search, we found a financial executive with the right blend of professional, industry and business experience to make immediate and long term contributions to Nanometrics. Jim brings over two decades of senior financial leadership experience, including serving as CFO of two publicly-traded companies in our sector. He has a superb knowledge of the semiconductor manufacturing industry and will be a great addition to our management team. Finally, I’d like to express my gratitude to Bruce Crawford, our COO, who has done a terrific job over the past five months of shouldering the added responsibility of CFO while we conducted our search.”
