Hollister, who started his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers, will join GlobalFoundries in February after over a two-decade stint at wireless technology firm Silicon Labs, including 10 years as its chief financial officer.

“John brings decades of experience, a proven track record as a CFO of a publicly traded company and a deep understanding of our industry,” GlobalFoundries CEO Thomas Caulfield said.

The chipmaker, whose customers include Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) in July shelved its plan to appoint former Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) executive Tim Stone as finance chief, without disclosing the reason for the move.

Reeder is leaving for pet products retailer Chewy (NYSE:CHWY) , who announced him as its new chief financial officer last week.

GlobalFoundries forecast its fourth-quarter profit above analysts’ estimates earlier in November, a sign that the supply glut in the semiconductor industry was easing.
