Cascade Microtech Looks For CEO

Cascade Microtech, a manufacturer of electrical measurement and integrated circuit testing equipment, announced last week that it is now searching for a chief executive officer. During a July 24 earnings conference call, the company reported that it was looking for a chief operating officer, but those plans changed when chairman and current CEO Eric W. Strid recently revealed his intent to transition to the role of chairman and chief technical officer. Strid, the company said, will assume his new position once a replacement CEO has been hired. Cascade Microtech is headquartered in Beaverton, Ore.
