International Rectifier Corp., the El Segundo-based maker of power management computer chips, announced the appointment of Ilan Daskal as chief financial officer, effective Oct. 6.
Daskal, who will report directly to president and CEO Oleg Khaykin, will be responsible for all finance and accounting functions at the company.
Daskal's appointment comes amid an attempt by Malvern, Pa.-based Vishay Intertechnology Inc. to purchase International Rectifier through a hostile takeover. Over the past year, IR made senior management changes after former CEO Alex Lodow's October 2007 resignation following the discovery of accounting irregularities.
On Aug. 1, International Rectifier said it completed its restatements for the periods involved in the irregularities.
Daskal, 43, has more than 20 years of technology industry financial and strategic planning experience.
