Sanjay Mehrotra, co-founder and CEO of SanDisk, has been appointed CEO of Micron.
“Innovation in memory and storage technology is enabling new products, improved customer experience and growth across multiple markets,” says Mehrotra, “Micron is at the forefront of driving these innovations, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lead such a talented global team.”
He takes over from Mark Durcan who stepped into the shoes of Steve Appleton after he was killed in a flying accident.
Before co-founding SanDisk, Mehrotra worked at IDT, Seeq, Intel and Atmel.
Micron could not have made a better choice – Mehrotra is steeped in flash technology from its earliest days, he holds over 70 patents and he had 28 years running SanDisk from start-up in 1988 until Western Digital bought it for $18 billion in 2016.
