Applied Materials, Inc. today announced that Teri Little has joined
the company as senior vice president and chief legal officer.
Previously, Ms. Little served as executive vice president, chief
legal officer and corporate secretary at KLA Corporation where she
led the legal affairs of the company worldwide, including corporate
securities and governance, M&A, intellectual property,
commercial, employment, compliance and litigation.
“As our new chief legal officer, Teri brings broad
legal experience as well as deep knowledge and understanding of the
semiconductor industry and our customers,” said Gary Dickerson,
president and CEO. “As we enter the era of artificial intelligence
and big data, Applied’s opportunities have never been greater and
Teri’s leadership and insight will help accelerate our
strategy.”
“I am very excited to be joining Applied Materials,
the industry leader and a company that I have long admired,” said
Teri Little. “I look forward to working alongside Gary, the legal
team and groups throughout the company to pursue new opportunities
and markets where Applied can bring unique advantages.”
Prior to her 18 years at KLA, Ms. Little was with
the law firms of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, as well as
Heller Ehrman White & McAuliffe. She received her J.D.
from Stanford University Law School and a B.S. in finance from San
Jose State University.
Tom Larkins, senior vice president and general
counsel of Applied Materials, announced his decision last fall to
retire after leading Applied Materials’ law department since
2012.
“I want to thank Tom for his contributions to
Applied Materials. Today, our legal team is better than ever. Tom
built a very strong team that is a great partner all across the
company. Tom will support Teri during the transition, and I wish
him well for the future,” said Dickerson.
