Leading high-performance analog semiconductor firm Skyworks Solutions announced Philip Carter will rejoin as CFO on September 8, overseeing all financial management.
Carter will leave AMD—where he’s served as VP & Chief Accounting Officer since Nov 2024 (no departure disagreements on accounting/financial reporting)—to rejoin Skyworks. He previously worked there from 2017-2024 as VP & Corporate Controller, with his return set to ensure smooth financial continuity. He’ll replace interim CFO Robert Schriesheim (in role since May), who stays on the board.
Carter’s Skyworks compensation includes a $600k base salary, 100% base target annual cash bonus, and an $800k signing bonus (paid over 24 months of employment).
Skyworks, a key wireless communications player, focuses on high-performance analog semiconductors. Its RF/mixed-signal devices enable connectivity for smartphones, cars, and IoT gear, covering high-growth sectors. It reported solid Q3 2025 results (ended June 27) on Aug 5: $965M revenue, $105M net income, $0.70 diluted EPS, plus $1.1B YTD operating cash flow and $962M free cash flow.
