Analog Devices Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI), with great sadness, announced
today that Jerald G. Fishman passed away suddenly from an apparent
heart attack yesterday evening. Mr. Fishman was 67 years old.
“This is a terrible loss for me personally and for all of us
here at ADI,” said Ray Stata, Chairman of the Board. “Jerry
dedicated his entire career to building ADI into a great
company—one of which we all are enormously proud. Jerry’s
commitment to ADI occupied a central part of his life and his
passion for success was infectious. Jerry not only developed
enormous respect both inside and outside the company as one of our
industry’s greatest leaders, but also for those like me who knew
him well, he engendered a sense of affection and loyalty through
his candor, openness, and integrity and through his unique sense of
humor. While Jerry was extraordinarily passionate about his work
and ADI, his greatest pride was his family and our thoughts are
with them at this time. We shall miss Jerry deeply.”
Jerry was born in 1945 and grew up in Flushing, NY. He graduated
from the City College of New York with a BSEE degree. He went on to
earn an MSEE degree from Northeastern University, an MBA from
Boston University, and Juris Doctor degree from Suffolk Law
School.
Jerry joined Analog Devices in 1971 in product marketing. His
responsibilities and his contributions expanded quickly as he rose
through the ranks of the company, and in 1991 he was named
President and Chief Operating Officer. In 1996, he was named
President and Chief Executive Officer. Jerry’s contributions to ADI
and the industry were recognized throughout his career.
In accordance with the Company’s bylaws, ADI’s President Vincent
Roche has been appointed Chief Executive Officer on an interim
basis by ADI’s Board of Directors.
“Vince, together with the leadership team Jerry put in place,
know the company well and know what they have to do to continue the
company’s success,” said Mr. Stata.
