SEMI announced that technology industry veteran and longtime SEMI member Joe Stockunas has joined SEMI as Americas president, reporting to Kevin Bauer, chief financial and business operations officer.
Stockunas will lead the SEMI Americas staff in increasing the value SEMI delivers to members, directing North America sales and services, and driving events and programs.
“We’re thrilled to welcome stalwart SEMI supporter Joe Stockunas to the organization and look forward to his leadership in advancing the interests of our member companies in the Americas,” said Ajit Manocha, SEMI president and CEO. “Joe’s passion for the semiconductor industry will be a tremendous asset to SEMI as he works to help our members grow their businesses and seize new partnership and innovation opportunities.”
“SEMI’s work to connect the global semiconductor ecosystem to the broader electronics supply chain is critical in driving digital transformation and addressing the industry’s most pressing challenges,” Stockunas said.
