May 29 (Reuters) - Chipmaker Skyworks Solutions

on Thursday named insider Robert Schriesheim as interim finance

chief, after Mark Dentinger decided not to join the Apple

supplier as previously announced.

Dentinger, who was set to take over as CFO on June 2, will

not be joining due to a medical condition, the company said. It

has begun searching for a permanent finance chief.

Schriesheim has been a director at Skyworks since 2006 and

has experience in the software, communications and semiconductor

sectors, among others.

Earlier this month, Skyworks forecast third-quarter revenue

and profit above Wall Street estimates, signaling resilient

demand for its analog chips despite ongoing trade tensions.

Skyworks forecast third-quarter revenue between $920 million

and $960 million, with the mid-point higher than the analysts'

estimate of $922 million, according to data compiled by LSEG.

It sees adjusted profit of $1.24 per share for the quarter,

above the analysts' estimate of $1.06 per share.
