Infinitesima, an Abingdon-based technology company serving the semiconductor sector, has appointed Jonathan Bryon as vice president of corporate affairs to lead its international expansion, particularly in Asia.
Bryon joins the newly created senior position with more than 25 years of relevant experience.
His remit will include investor relations, with a particular emphasis on Asia-based investors, and engagement with the UK government.
He will also oversee trade compliance and support the creation of Infinitesima legal entities throughout Asia.
Based in Taiwan, Bryon will operate across the Asian region and the UK.
Before joining Infinitesima, Bryon was business development director at Oxford Instruments.
In that position, he oversaw business activity in Korea, Taiwan, ASEAN and Oceania.
Chief executive Peter Jenkins said Bryon’s international leadership experience, knowledge of Asian markets and familiarity with the industry’s regulatory and political environment would be valuable as the company develops its regional presence and long-term capabilities.
The company said the appointment formed part of preparations to strengthen its international operations and business infrastructure for expansion in complex markets.
Bryon also identified Asia as a central part of the global semiconductor industry and said Infinitesima had already established strong relationships across the region.
Infinitesima develops metrology technology for the semiconductor industry.
Such systems provide quality-control measurements that help confirm chips are being produced correctly.
