“Mike and David are indus­try lea­ders who bring pro­ven track records of deli­ve­ring pro­fi­ta­ble busi­ness growth and lea­der­ship pro­duct road­maps,” said AMD Pre­si­dent and CEO Dr. Lisa Su. “We enter 2018 with incre­di­ble momen­tum for our gra­phics busi­ness based on the full set of GPU pro­ducts we intro­du­ced last year for the con­su­mer, pro­fes­sio­nal, and machi­ne lear­ning mar­kets. Under Mike and David’s lea­der­ship, I am con­fi­dent we will con­ti­nue to grow the foot­print of Rade­on across the gam­ing, immersi­ve, and GPU com­pu­te markets.”

Ray­field brings to AMD more than 30 years of tech­no­lo­gy indus­try expe­ri­ence focu­sed on growth, buil­ding deep cus­to­mer rela­ti­onships, and dri­ving results. Ray­field joins AMD from Micron Tech­no­lo­gy, whe­re he was seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger of the Mobi­le Busi­ness Unit. Under Rayfield’s lea­der­ship, Micron’s mobi­le busi­ness achie­ved signi­fi­cant reve­nue growth and impro­ved pro­fi­ta­bi­li­ty. Pri­or to Micron, Ray­field ser­ved as gene­ral mana­ger of the Mobi­le Busi­ness Unit at Nvi­dia, whe­re he led the team that crea­ted Tegra.

With more than 25 years of gra­phics and sili­con deve­lo­p­ment expe­ri­ence, Wang brings deep tech­ni­cal exper­ti­se and an excel­lent track record in mana­ging com­plex sili­con deve­lo­p­ment to AMD.
