AMD's CEO Lisa Su is celebrating her "10-year" anniversary in the company as the CEO, taking Team Red from the shackles of crisis to industry glory.
Dr. Lisa Su Has Significantly Revamped AMD Under Her Tenure; Looks To Do The Same In Future As Well With The AI Hype
Well, the journey of AMD under Lisa Su has been a rollercoaster of a ride since she joined the company back in October 2014, at a time when Team Red wasn't in the spotlights of the tech markets.
At that time, the company was in the process of an "economic recession," with stock pricing falling tremendously and the market cap shrinking to just a few billion dollars. Lisa Su didn't take office in ideal circumstances, but her being the CEO marked an under-era of AMD, where the firm eventually evolved to be a key player that couldn't be ignored.
10 years ago I had the honor of a lifetime to be named @AMD CEO. It’s been an incredible journey with so many proud moments. Today I want to thank the global @AMD team for all you do. As amazing as the last 10 years have been, the best is yet to come. 🥰 pic.twitter.com/WuQRt3xlX3

Apart from this, Lisa Su has played a huge role in the layer of innovation in the server markets with the EPYC CPUs, so it won't be wrong to say that the image of AMD right now was being painted by Lisa Su, the result coming in a span of a decade.
Commemorating the moment, here is what AMD's CEO Lisa Su had to say to the general public, expressing her gratitude and heartfelt emotions to the team and the firm's consumers:
