Taking AMD from a sub-$2 stock to a $250 billion semiconductor powerhouse, Lisa Su engineered the turnaround through the Zen CPU architecture, EPYC server processors, and a $49 billion Xilinx acquisition that repositioned AMD as a genuine rival to Intel and NVIDIA.
Lisa Su has been CEO of AMD since 2014, leading the company from near-irrelevance and a sub-$2 stock price to a market capitalization exceeding $250 billion.
The Zen CPU architecture and EPYC server processors restored AMD's competitiveness in data centers, PCs, and gaming consoles, and the $49 billion Xilinx acquisition in 2022 expanded its product range. She holds a PhD in electrical engineering from MIT.
