Lisa T. Su is the CEO and Chair of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a company that's all about making chips for computers and gaming. She joined AMD in 2012 and really made her mark when she became CEO in 2014. Under her leadership, AMD has bounced back and grown significantly, especially in the gaming and data center markets. One of the notable things about her tenure is that she's deeply invested in AMD's success, owning over three million shares that are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Her compensation for 2023 was around $2.75 million, mostly from salary and bonuses that depend on how well AMD does financially. Interestingly, in the past, there was a hiccup when the board had to void stock awards due to a technical issue, but they reaffirmed that her compensation was appropriate. Lisa holds multiple engineering degrees from MIT and has previously worked at IBM and Freescale Semiconductor. So, she’s not just a figurehead; she’s got the experience and a solid educational background to back it up.
