Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) today announced the appointment of Dasaradha Gude as the managing director for AMD India.
Gude (known as "GD") will be responsible for AMD India's R&D and overall India operations. His responsibilitiesinclude in-region development and management of AMD's growing portfolio of consumer and commercial platforms and processors.
Gude brings with him more than 25 years of experience in the Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) domain spanning various entrepreneurial roles and most recently as the managing director of the AMD R&D center, Hyderabad. In this role, he managed a team of engineers who delivered leading-edge technologies for AMD's graphics and consumer electronics businesses. He was also instrumental in establishing AMD's Centre of Excellence for Audio Technology. During the last 10 years, Gude has played a pioneering role in bringing VLSI design technologies to India with several successful entrepreneurial ventures to his credit.
AMD's India engineering operations have now become part of the Central Engineering leadership team, recently created to direct the development and execution of AMD's technology and product roadmaps in partnership with AMD's business units. The Central Engineering team is co-led by veteran engineering executives Chekib Akrout and Jeff VerHeul, both of whom report to Dirk Meyer, AMD president and CEO.
"Placing experienced leaders in new, more focused roles will help enhance our execution and progress towards sustained profitability and long-term success," said Jeff VerHeul, corporate vice president of Silicon Design Engineering at AMD. "GD's new responsibilities form a critical part of our strategy to sustain AMD's growth in the region."
According to Gude, AMD India has been a critical contributor to the product roadmap of the company. "The creation of a Centralized Engineering organization helps align and focus AMD's engineers and intellectual property portfolio on the strong business opportunities in front of us," he added.
