PortalPlayer CEO to Resign

PortalPlayer's CEO and president, Gary Johnson, plans to resign from the company by the end of the year. Mr. Johnson says he is leaving to pursue pre-IPO opportunities. "My true passion is in leading companies through their initial rapid growth," he said.

The company said that it will look for a new CEO over the next few months.

PortalPlayer gained much of its success by providing system-on-a-chip processors to Apple for the iPod. In April, the company announced that Apple wouldn't be using its chips in upcoming products.
