After abolishing its CEO position last month, Acer announced today that its reinstating it and bringing in a chip industry veteran to take the reins. Beginning January 1st, Jason Chen take over as Acers CEO. Chen was previously vice president of sales and marketing for chipmaker TSMC, and he had a long stint at Intel serving in sales and marketing positions prior to that. Though chipmaking may not be Acers current focus, sales and marketing are likely the big appeal to Chen.
