After less than two years at AMD's Dresden site, the company's manufacturing vice president Elke Eckstein has moved on. One of Germany's very few female semiconductor managers now is Chief Operating Officer for Osram Opto Semiconductor in Regensburg (Germany).
According to an Osram press release, Eckstein has assumed the office in Regensburg already on July 1st. In her new position, she succeeds Jörg Thäle who now is CEO of Osram's Low Pressure Discharge business unit.
At AMD, Eckstein oversaw the operative business of the processor vendor's F30/38 semiconductor manufacturing site. Her move falls into a period characterized by the retreat of Hector Ruiz as AMD's CEO and intensive speculations over the future of AMDs manufacturing strategy.
Before Eckstein joined AMD, she was CEO for the Infineon-IBM joint venture Altis after having worked in different positions for Infineon and Taiwanese chip vendor ProMOS. She had started her career at Siemens' former Semiconductor Division (now Infineon) to which Osram Opto Semiconductor belongs through its parent company Osram, a Siemens subsidiary.
