Timeline

1947

Sir Robin Keith Saxby FREng HonFRS (born 4 February 1947) is an English engineer who was chief executive and then chairman of ARM Holdings, which he built to become a dominant supplier of embedded systems.

Saxby was born in 1947 in Derbyshire and was educated at Chesterfield Grammar School, a boys' grammar school.

1968

He attended the University of Liverpool, where he gained a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electronics in 1968.

Saxby had an electronics kit at the age of eight and a television repair business at the age of 14.

1970

Saxby married Patricia Bell in 1970.

They have a son and a daughter.

1991

In 1991 he joined Cambridge-based ARM as their first chief executive officer (CEO) and built it to "a global giant" with offices round the world.

He was chief executive from 1991 to 2001, and subsequently chairman from 2001 to 2006.

It was at ARM that he made his real impact on the electronic industry.

When he was appointed CEO in 1991, he took 12 engineers from Acorn Computers into the newly formed joint venture between Acorn and Apple Inc.

With a limited budget of a $1.5 million investment from Apple, he made those 12 engineers into one of the most formidable management teams in the industry.

In a memorable early meeting, he persuaded one of the engineers to volunteer to become the vice president (VP) of marketing, another the VP of sales, and so on.

Saxby also introduced the licensing model for selling microprocessors, which led to a 95% market share in the mobile phone sector.

With a similar success in other sectors, he has made ARM into the world's most successful processor company, with over 50 billion units shipped to date.

During his 10 years as CEO, he made ARM the most valuable company in the Cambridge cluster, with a market capitalisation of over $10bn.

ARM under his leadership became a global company with offices in many countries and licences taken by all significant semiconductor companies in the world.

This is a unique achievement for a British company, especially in electronics.

Since his retirement from ARM, he has become a tireless promoter of young entrepreneurs and is involved in a number of start-up companies which he supports with advice, finance and infinite patience.

He has dedicated time to mentoring young entrepreneurs, helping them through difficult times and never losing faith in them.

Saxby is a chartered engineer, an honorary fellow of the IET and a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering.
