"We thank John for the job he has done as Ikanos' president and CEO," said Banatao. "His engineering expertise, business acumen and leadership will be missed. He helped the Company turn an important corner, brought greater focus to the organization and drove the development of truly breakthrough broadband technologies that should propel Ikanos' future growth."
"Working together as a team we have established both a truly compelling roadmap and the disciplined processes and thinking to execute and deliver it. Moving forward, I will now be pursuing interests more aligned to my passion for change management and enabling both individuals and organizations to explore the unfettered art of the possible," said Quigley.
