Micron Technology has appointed two experienced business leaders, Mark Liu and Christie Simons, to its board of directors.
Mark Liu spent over 30 years with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), where he held increasingly important leadership positions, including senior vice president (2004-2012), co-chief operations officer (2012-2013), president and co-CEO (2013-2018), and executive chairman (2018-2024).
Under Mark Liu’s leadership, TSMC became the world’s largest semiconductor foundry. He is currently the founder and chairman of J&M Copper Beech Ventures, a multi-strategy investment fund.
Mark Liu began his career at Intel Corporation as part of the company’s development of its 32-bit microprocessor technology. He then moved to AT&T Bell Laboratory, where he conducted fundamental high-speed electronics research. His other board commitments include the University of California, Berkeley Engineering Advisory Board.
Mark Liu holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University and a master’s and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley.
“Mark is a visionary leader with deep technical expertise and business acumen. He has decades of experience leading one of the world’s most advanced and sophisticated semiconductor companies, with fab operations at the largest scale,” said Micron Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. “His experience will help guide Micron as we scale our business to address the growing opportunities unleashed by AI — from the data center to the edge.”
