“What you can do as a single person is great. But what you can do when you can bring ten smart people together or 100 smart people together, or 10,000 smart people together aligned on a vision, it’s just incredible.”
—Lisa Su, PhD, Chief Executive Officer, AMD
Every other Tuesday, womenatliberty.com provides a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage, and strengthen women leaders. Today as a part of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we are highlighting Lisa Su, President and CEO of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in Silicon Valley.
Su became CEO in October 2014 and turned around a failing company. This MIT PhD who was born in Taiwan and raised in the Bronx, New York is an electrical engineer who became fascinated with making products. Her leadership has brought back AMD from the “brink of bankruptcy”.
Last year she spoke extensively with Gary Shapiro, President and CEO of Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and board member of the Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC), in a ‘Masters of Leadership’ discussion. They discussed the future of AMD’s business, recent U.S. government sanctions against China which affect AMD’s business operations, and the issues of race and inequality in America that the death of George Floyd (caught on video) while being arrested by police made apparent for all Americans and caused mass protests in American cities.
