AUSTIN, Texas -- Banderacom, a fabless semiconductor firm, said it has appointed Les Crudele as CEO. He replaces founding CEO Eric Johnson, who will remain with the company during the transition period. Mr. Crudele held executive positions at Quantum Effect Devices, a semiconductor firm that focuses on MIPS microprocessors; Motorola’s Semiconductor Product Sector; and at Compaq Computer’s Workstation Division. He also founded Stellar Computer, a graphics supercomputer firm. In August, Banderacom raised $9 million in its first round of financing from Intel Capital, Austin Ventures, Jato Tech Ventures, and router firm Crossroads Systems.
