August 18, 2009 (FinancialWire) — Magma(r) Design Automation Inc. (NASDAQ: LAVA), a provider of chip design software, announced the promotion of Carl Burrow to vice president of North America Sales. Burrow most recently managed sales in Magma’s U.S. South region and will report to Roy E. Jewell, Magma president and chief operating officer.

“Carl has demonstrated continued, progressive success in a range of sales management roles since he came to Magma,” Jewell said. “His teams have cultivated and expanded relationships with some of the top technology leaders in the semiconductor industry, and those engagements have contributed significantly to Magma’s success. I expect he will continue that track record now that his responsibility encompasses sales for all of North America.”

Burrow has been with Magma for 6 years, joining the company when it acquired EDA startup Aplus Design Technology in 2003. His prior experience includes 8 years in Texas Instruments’ Semiconductor Division, where he began as a product marketing engineer and eventually served as a district sales manager. He later spent 9 years with Actel Corp. — a period that included revenue growth from $21 million to $226 million and the company’s initial public offering — eventually serving as vice president of Worldwide Marketing and vice president of Worldwide Sales. This was followed by his move to Aplus, where he served as vice president of Worldwide Sales.

Burrow holds a master’s degree in business administration from Amberton University in Dallas and a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Missouri University of Science and Technology.
