Synaptics CFO Ken Rizvi resigned effective immediately on August 20, 2026, to pursue a new opportunity, and he will stay in an advisory role through September 30, 2026. The company will not search for a successor because of the pending merger with ON Semiconductor Corporation announced June 25, 2026, so CEO Rahul Patel will serve as principal financial officer through the merger's closing.
