Biography

  • Lisa Su, the CEO of semiconductor firm Advanced Micro Devices, has led one of the greatest recent turnarounds in the technology sector.
  • ADM's 2024 revenues were $25.8 billion, up 14%, and up 370% since Su became CEO in 2014.
  • Next, she's preparing for battle against Nvidia in the AI revolution, and expects to keep winning; Nvidia is run by her distant relative Jensen Huang.
  • The daughter of a mathematician and a bookkeeper turned entrepreneur, Su was born in Tainan, Taiwan, in 1969, and immigrated to New York City at age 3.
  • After graduating from the Bronx High School of Science, Su went to MIT, where she earned a bachelor's (and later a Ph.D.) in electrical engineering because it seemed to be the most difficult major.
  • She did stints at Texas Instruments, IBM and Freescale, then joined AMD in 2012 and became CEO two years later.
  • During her time at IBM, Su worked directly with highly respected CEO Lou Gerstner.
