Meet Matt Johnson, the CEO of Silicon Laboratories Inc. He took on this role in January 2022 but has been with the company since 2018 in various leadership positions, including Vice President and General Manager for the Internet of Things (IoT) division. Matt studied Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, which laid a solid foundation for his career in tech. Before joining Silicon Labs, he worked at big names like NXP and Freescale, focusing on automotive and technology products. His approach is straightforward: he believes in building a strong company culture and pushing for innovative product development. In 2023, he earned about $6.9 million in total compensation, primarily from a salary and vested stock, but he emphasizes aligning such compensation with performance metrics. When he isn’t steering Silicon Labs towards its goals, he contributes to community projects and serves on several boards, including the Dell Children’s Medical Center Foundation and the Semiconductor Industry Association. Matt is a hands-on leader who aims to make tech smarter and more connected, reflecting Silicon Labs' mission.
