We just announced two computer industry veterans joined AMD to help accelerate the growth of our Radeon Technologies Group (RTG). With these leadership hires we will create dedicated business and engineering teams within RTG to help drive our aggressive business and technology plans. These moves are about expanding the leadership team working on graphics as a part of our further investments to drive leadership graphics IP that is used across AMD.
Mike Rayfield, Senior Vice President and General Manager, AMD Radeon Technologies Group
Mike Rayfield comes to AMD from Micron Technology, and will take on the role of senior vice president and general manager of AMD Radeon Technologies Group. In that capacity, Mike will be responsible for strategy and business management for RTG, including consumer and professional graphics as well as our semi-custom products. Mike has over 30 years of technology industry experience, including a deep understanding of how to grow a business and drive results.
David Wang, Senior Vice President of Engineering, AMD Radeon Technologies Group
David Wang rejoins AMD from Synaptics. He will be responsible for graphics engineering, including technical strategy, architecture, hardware and software for AMD graphics products. His past roles at AMD included the position of corporate vice president responsible for SOC development of processor products, including GPUs, CPUs and APUs. David is a well known and respected member of the semiconductor engineering community, having guided the development of many cutting edge products during his time at ATI, ArtX, SGI, Axil Workstations and LSI Logic. David spent 14 years at ArtX/ATI/AMD previously, and worked on multiple game console programs plus every generation of GPU from the R300 family through the HD 7000 series.
Given the reliance of our semi-custom business our graphics technologies and products, we are also taking the step to bring the team together under RTG and Mike’s leadership to drive a larger footprint for Radeon across the industry. We are very excited by the addition of Mike and David to the AMD team as they both have deep knowledge of the semiconductor industry and a proven ability to drive results.
