A regular round-up of staff changes within the industry featuring DALSA, Nanoident Organic Fab and JDSU.

•  DALSA puts Doody into internal operations role

DALSA, a developer of image sensing chips, has announced that Brian Doody will fill the newly created position of Chief Operating Officer. Under the revised structure, Doody will oversee all of the firm's internal operations and focus on increasing the efficiency and productivity of the business. Corporate strategy, strategic technology direction and long term planning will continue to be led by DALSA's CEO, Savvas Chamberlain.

From 1997 he was vice president of manufacturing and before then was vice president of manufacturing and engineering. "Dalsa has grown and now is the right time to place a clear strategic focus at the executive level on our overall operations," said Chamberlain. "The breadth and depth of Brian's 20 years experience at Dalsa certainly qualify him for this new role."
