“Raj brings a wealth of experience to this role, having built his career at Micron focusing on quality, R&D, manufacturing and product and customer management,” said Sadana. “I look forward to his leadership in growing our compute and networking business, driving our innovative product roadmap, and building on Micron’s capabilities in areas like DDR5 and CXL.”

Narasimhan began his career at Micron in 1995 in R&D, before taking on a variety of operational roles, including as the site director of Micron’s Manassas, Virginia, fab.
