senior director, Sensors & Electronics, Questex. “Having grown
AMFitzgerald from a startup to an internationally recognized MEMS
and microtechnology product development firm in just over two
decades, Dr. Fitzgerald has helped hundreds of companies realize
their vision in silicon. In addition, her expertise extends to
emerging areas such as quantum sensor and computing technology,
underscoring her forward-thinking approach and adaptability. We’re
delighted to recognize Dr. Fitzgerald as Executive of the Year at
the 2024 Best of Sensors Awards.”
“At the founding of my company, I chose to develop a multitude
of emerging MEMS-based technologies into exciting products on
behalf of our clients — rather than make an all-in bet on a single
product,” said Dr. Fitzgerald, founder and CEO, AMFitzgerald. “I’m
gratified that my choice of career path continues to advance
scientific achievement, technology development and commercial
production-readiness in MEMS and sensors. Having attended this
