In a leadership reshuffle, Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS) has appointed Philip Carter as senior vice president and chief financial officer (CFO), effective September 8, 2025. Carter will oversee the company’s financial strategy, investor relations, treasury, and the leadership of its global finance and information technology functions.
Carter rejoins Skyworks after serving at Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) as corporate vice president and chief accounting officer since November 2024. At AMD, he managed the company’s comprehensive accounting operations.
The appointment marks Carter’s return to Skyworks, where he previously spent more than seven years as vice president, corporate controller and principal accounting officer. In that role, he led strategic operational initiatives, including financial transformation and the rollout of scalable reporting systems to support the company’s growth. Earlier in his career, Carter spent over eight years at Broadcom Inc., where he helped restructure the accounting organization during a period of rapid expansion. He began his career at Ernst & Young and holds both CPA and CFA designations, alongside degrees from California State University, Fullerton and the University of Southern California.
“We’re pleased to welcome back a well-respected financial leader with deep experience in the semiconductor industry,” said Phil Brace, president and chief executive officer of Skyworks. He credited Carter with a strong track record of financial leadership, operational discipline, and the ability to scale global finance operations. Brace also acknowledged Rob Schriesheim, a Skyworks board member who has been serving as interim CFO since May, for steering the finance team through a transitional period.
Carter said he was “excited to return to Skyworks” and emphasized the company’s strong financial foundation and focus on innovation. “I look forward to helping advance our leadership position and generate long-term value for our customers, employees, and shareholders,” he said.
The move underscores Skyworks’ effort to reinforce its leadership bench as demand for analog and mixed-signal semiconductors remains strong across global connectivity markets.
