Why is Lisa Su considered AMD’s greatest CEO and one of AI’s strongest brand ambassadors? When Su took over $AMD in 2014, the company was close to bankruptcy. AMD’s market cap has surged 65x from $10B to $650B. Ironically, this came after Sky Sports once asked Su if she could “speak English” at the 2018 F1 Chinese Grand Prix. A MIT PhD in EE, she restored AMD’s engineering culture by working directly with chip teams and inspecting samples herself.
