Phil Ritter Retires From TI

Just got a message via Facebook from Phil Ritter, saying he is retiring today after 20 years at Texas Instruments. I can’t say I’ve ever met him in person, but all my e-dealings and phone conversations with him have been great. He’s led the company’s public and community affairs department since 2001 and before that, he worked as a lawyer at TI. From most appearances, he seems to have kept the company out of a lot of hot water.
