Executive Overview
Retired after 43 memorable years in the semiconductor industry, most recently as President and CEO of Microchip Technology. My passion lies at the intersection of technology and business, which I continue to pursue through Independent Board positions and being a guest speaker who brings business experience to University classroom discussions. Retirement has also given me much needed time and flexibility to invest with family and friends and enjoy life's journey and the pursuit of happiness!
