The current executive leadership team includes CFO Cary Baker, CTO Alberto Pesavento, and newly appointed Executive Vice President for Enterprise Solutions Chris Hundley, who joined in early 2026 to accelerate the company’s transition toward integrated enterprise solutions. The company’s strategic direction is further guided by a high-pedigree board of directors chaired by Steve Sanghi, the Executive Chairman of Microchip Technology.
