John Whitman Email and Phone Number

My career in Semiconductors began in 1988 at Micron Technologies Boise, Idaho location. I have been blessed with opportunities to work & live at several of Micron’s global locations and have spent 30+ years with this excellent company always learning and growing.During the first half of my career, I gained knowledge and experience in multiple environments spanning multiple wafer diameters, memory types and facilities, focusing primarily on Photolithography Engineering in both Manufacturing and R&D. In 2005 I joined a new Fab startup with the Intel / Micron Joint Venture in Lehi, UT (IMFT) as the Lithography Department Manager later moving to roles in site-based Cost Reduction and Procurement. In 2010 I was able to join the IM Flash Singapore new Fab startup as the Fab & Site Director (IMFS). In late 2012 returned to Boise, Idaho to assist the R&D organization at Micron with their efforts in Manufacturing Development and later leading the Non-Volitile Memory Process & Equipment Development engineering team, working across multiple memory platforms. Late 2017 I was allowed the opportunity to join the Global Procurement organization as Vice President for the Front-End. In 2020, my role was expanded to Vice President of Font-End Procurement and Central Engineering Teams. This scope has allowed for greater synergy across all Micron sites and supplier facing activities. In 2021 I was promoted to Corporate Vice President and am excited to continue my role leading the Front-End Central Engineering and Procurement teams focused on End-to-End Capital Equipment Optimization
