JOE JONES, PRESIDENT AND CEO
Joe Jones, President and CEO of Skyonic, earned a BS in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas and spent the first 25 years of his career in the semiconductor manufacturing industry, working at Texas Industries, Cypress Semiconductors, and others. He participated in the start-up and operation of five wafer-fabrication plants (TI, AMD, and Cypress), the development of one of the first fabless semiconductor companies (Ross Technology), and an independent outsource semiconductor company he founded (BridgePoint Technical Manufacturing).
