Phill LoPresti is the president and chief executive officer of Everspin Technologies, leading the company in its vision to make MRAM the next mainstream memory. With more than 25 years of engineering, sales and marketing experience in the semiconductor industry, Phill came to Everspin from his prior position as president and CEO of Kenet, Inc.; a fabless semiconductor startup focused on high performance data converters. In a two and a half year period, Phill launched more than 50 new products and secured multiple customer designs. He ultimately helped establish Kenet as a premier data converter company, which culminated in the successful merger with Intersil Corporation in 2008.
Prior to leading Kenet, Phill spent 22 years at NEC Electronics America in various roles, ultimately as vice president and general manager of the $250M Custom LSI business unit, where he was responsible for strategic planning, sales and financial management.
