American semiconductor company Analog Devices has named Alan Lee as its chief technology officer. Previously, Lee was working with semiconductor firm Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for over a decade, where he most recently served as head of research and advanced development. While there, his teams developed novel hardware, software, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing technologies and were responsible for many innovations and patents over the past decade.
Prior to AMD, Alan was CEO of a privately held company creating technologies for high-frequency trading and quantitative financial analysis. Previously, he developed expertise in large-scale, multinational engineering and technology projects through his work at Intel and IBM.
“In his new role at Analog Devices, Alan will identify and work to advance the next-generation technologies that will disrupt and shape the semiconductor industry and its markets,” Analog devices said.
Lee will report directly to Analog Devices’ CEO and Chair Vincent Roche and replaces the company’s former CTO, Dan Leibholz, who now serves as the company’s Senior Vice President, Digital Business Unit.
