With her extensive background in finance and accounting, I am very confident that Jessica is capable in the interim position, helping us make a seamless transition until we identify a suitable replacement."</p><p>

We truly wish him the best in his future endeavors."</p><p>
	Prior to joining Himax, Jessica worked as Assistant Finance Manager for Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. from 2002 to 2006 and as an auditor for T N Soong &amp; Co, now a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmastu, from 1998 to 2001.</p><p>
