Most recently, Antes was vice president at Qualcomm, responsible for the strategy, product roadmap and go-to-market activities for its Networking, and Connected Home/Office/IoT products. Previously, he was VP of marketing at Atheros Communications, which grew to become the world's largest supplier of Wi-Fi technology and chipsets prior to its acquisition by Qualcomm in 2011. Also, he has held several executive marketing leadership positions at small startups through large, public technology companies, including Philips and AirPrime (acquired by Sierra Wireless).

"I look forward to applying my marketing experiences in IoT and connected products to help the company deliver truly innovative LED lighting to more customers around the world," comments Antes.
