October 30 2024 - 4:15PM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) today announced that Robert
(Bob) Switz, its current Board Chair, will retire at the annual
shareholders meeting on Jan. 16, 2025. The Board has unanimously
approved the appointment of Micron’s President and CEO, Sanjay
Mehrotra, to serve as Board Chair and Lynn Dugle as Lead
Independent Director following the annual shareholders meeting.
Switz joined Micron’s Board of Directors in 2006 and was named
Chair in 2012. With broad experience, a clear-headed approach and
exceptional business acumen, Switz has been a leading voice in
driving strong governance and the company’s successful strategy.
Throughout his tenure, Micron introduced many industry-first
products and increased revenues over five times. Also, Switz was
instrumental in recruiting Mehrotra as the company’s CEO in
2017.
“Bob has been an invaluable partner and advisor to Micron for
nearly 20 years, and I am deeply grateful to him for his leadership
and counsel,” said Mehrotra. “On behalf of my fellow board members
and the over 48,000 team members at Micron, I want to thank him for
all his contributions. During his tenure, Micron has gained
tremendous momentum and is now a recognized leader in the memory
and storage industry. I am honored to succeed Bob as the Board
Chair, and I look forward to working with Lynn Dugle and the rest
of the Micron Board to continue to advance Micron’s market
leadership position and financial strength.”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time serving on the Micron Board,
and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside many
talented executives as we expanded the company’s global footprint
and product portfolio,” said Switz. “Memory and storage are
essential to the growth of AI in the digital economy, and Micron
holds the strongest competitive position in its history. Working
with Sanjay to take Micron, an iconic American company, to industry
leadership has been very rewarding.”
Since joining Micron in 2017 as President and CEO, Mehrotra has
transformed the company into a technology, product, and
manufacturing leader. During his time as CEO, the company has
introduced multiple generations of both DRAM and NAND ahead of its
competitors and delivered the best products in the industry
acknowledged for their world-class quality. Mehrotra has been
widely recognized for his leadership and contributions to the
memory and storage industry.
“Sanjay has done an outstanding job of transforming Micron and
creating value for all stakeholders. I am confident that in this
expanded role, Sanjay will lead the company to new heights,” said
Switz.
Dugle joined the Board in 2020 and has over 30 years of
experience in the defense, intelligence, and technology industries.
She currently serves on Micron’s Governance and Sustainability and
Security Committees and previously served on the Audit Committee
and as Chair of the Security Committee.
“I congratulate Bob on his retirement, and I’m grateful to him
for his consensus-minded leadership,” said Dugle. “Being selected
as lead independent director is an honor and a great
responsibility, and I am excited to step into this role and partner
with Sanjay, my fellow board members and the company’s management
team to help realize the company's potential.”
