In the last month of 2024, TIME magazine named Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, as its first-ever Female CEO of the Year. This groundbreaking milestone celebrates women in leadership and reminds us of the limitless opportunities for women in tech and beyond. We celebrate all women who dream big, lead boldly and redefine the future. #WomenInTech #ALXDareToBeMore #ALXAfrica

The first ever female CEO of the year by TIME is a Woman in Tech 👏🤩 Meet Dr. Lisa Su of AMD, whose extraordinary leadership journey embodies what's possible when technical brilliance meets visionary business acumen. When she took the helm in 2014, AMD was struggling at $3 per share. Today? The stock trades around $140, and AMD powers the world's TWO most powerful supercomputers. Talk about a transformation! 💸 Her winning formula was remarkably clear: 🚀 Build exceptional products 💙 Prioritize customer relationships 💡 Simplify the business "People are really motivated by ambitious goals," says Su, who holds a Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She lives this philosophy - personally visiting labs to examine prototype chips and pushing her team toward excellence. The results? AMD now holds 34% of the cloud-CPU market and is projected to generate $5 billion in AI chip revenue - a testament to Su's ability to spot and seize emerging opportunities. From rebuilding AMD's core products to positioning the company at the forefront of AI computing, Dr. Su's leadership shows how technical expertise combined with strategic vision can transform not just a company, but an entire industry.
