TDK Corporation has announced Joseph Bousaba as new chief executive officer (CEO) of InvenSense, a TDK Group company, and general manager (GM) of TDK Corporation’s MEMS Sensors Business Group. Bousaba succeeds previous CEO and GM Omar Abed, who stepped down from the role for personal reasons effective October 1, 2024. Abed plans to return to TDK in a new position in 2025. Bousaba’s previous experience includes Chief Business Officer for InvenSense, as well as executive roles at Qualcomm.
“I’m committed to the partner-first values and strategic vision on which Omar and I have aligned in building the resilient business we have today,” said Bousaba. “We have the best MEMS sensor team and partnerships in the world, and I’m honored to lead us toward ongoing innovation and growth.”
Bousaba has more than 18 years of senior leadership experience in the semiconductor industry. Before joining TDK in November of 2019, he was the vice president of consumer IoT and smart home at Qualcomm, responsible for a multi-hundred-million-dollar profitable business. He also served in multiple business and product leadership roles at Qualcomm Atheros, and previously at Philips Semiconductors (now NXP).
“I have full confidence in Joseph’s ability to move our business forward,” said Abed. “Joseph has an unwavering commitment to our partners; from his demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively to his depth of expertise in MEMS sensors and consumer electronics markets, he is well-equipped to lead this business.”
While the leadership change is effective immediately, Abed and Bousaba are working to ensure a smooth transition with continuity for partners and employees.
