KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 (Bernama) -- Arm has announced the appointment of new Board members Karen Dykstra, former Chief Financial and Administrative Officer of AOL and Jeff Sine, Co-Founder and Partner of Raine Group, effective immediately.

These highly qualified leaders bring a diverse range of expertise to Arm as the company prepares for a potential public listing.

His extensive experience in financial management at public companies and IPO execution will be invaluable in preparation for a potential public listing. I look forward to working with him as part of the Arm leadership team as we continue to define the future of computing, built on Arm.”

Child, who most recently served as senior vice-president and CFO at Splunk from 2019, will replace current CFO Inder Singh who will remain at Arm in an advisory role and assist in the transition through November before moving to a new opportunity.
