Five Minutes With…Ray Zinn, former (longtime) CEO of Micrel

December 16, 2015

Ray Zinn was the CEO of a very successful Silicon Valley tech company, with an emphasis on "very." I asked Ray how he was able to achieve that, through extremely turbulent times in our industry. His response was not the pie in the sky answer you'd expect from someone in the C suite, but it was down to the real numbers. This is a blueprint others may want to take notice of.

We also discussed some of the hard lessons that Ray learned along the way, most of which still apply to today's economies.
