Fiber-optic communications component and subsystem maker Finisar Corp of Sunnyvale, CA, USA says that its board of directors had accepted the resignation of CEO & director Eitan Gertel. Executive chairman Jerry Rawls will continue to serve as principal executive and will also assume the title of CEO.

"On behalf of the entire board, we thank Eitan Gertel for his contributions to Finisar," says Robert Stephens, lead director of the board of directors.
