AMD's Lisa Su Named UBM Executive of the Year
UBM ACE Awards Recognize Industry's Elite
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 3, 2014) - AMD (NYSE: AMD)
Senior Vice President and General Manager, Global Business Units,
Lisa Su has been named a winner in the EE Times and EDN 2014 UBM
Tech ACE Awards in the Executive of the Year category. The awards
program honors the people and companies behind the technologies and
products that are changing the world of electronics.
The winners were announced at an awards ceremony Tuesday, April
1, at The Fairmont San Jose, during EE Live!
"I am flattered and honored to be selected for the UBM
'Executive of the Year' award. When I look at the list of this
year's nominees and past winners, it is a who's who of the
industry's leaders," said Su. "AMD is in the middle of an important
and comprehensive transformation, but it is very much a team
effort. On behalf of the entire AMD team, we very much appreciate
the recognition for the work."
Su played a key role in fundamentally redefining AMD's strategy
and oversaw flawless delivery of AMD's product roadmap in 2013,
including the industry's first quad-core x86 SoC designs, the
world's first APU with HSA Features, and the ultimate graphics
experience for 4K gaming. Under her leadership, AMD had numerous
successes in the marketplace, including:
- Delivering highly sophisticated technology to enable the record
launches of both the Microsoft Xbox One and Sony PlayStation
4;
- Entering into a collaboration with ARM to develop 64-bit
ARM-based SoCs, targeting cloud and data center servers and
embedded designs;
- Completing the integration of SeaMicro and securing a
high-profile data center design with Verizon to power their new
high-performance cloud with AMD SeaMicro SM15000 servers.
"The ACE Awards celebrate the highest achievements in innovation
and creativity in electronics design, and selecting one
organization or individual that stands out above the rest is
incredibly challenging," said Patrick Mannion, VP, Brand Director,
UBM Tech Electronics. "The situation at AMD only a couple of years
ago was also challenging. Lisa has been a driving force for both
vision and execution, leading to significant design wins, and for
the company's return to profitability."
A panel of EE Times and EDN editors narrowed down the entries to
five finalists in each category, based on the criteria set forth in
an online submission form. Winners are determined from among the
finalists by a panel of independent judges. Judging took place from
Jan. 27, 2014 - Feb. 24, 2014.
