SK hynix Inc. announced on Tuesday, May 16, that its NAND flash memory solutions subsidiary, Solidigm, has assigned two new chief executive officers that will manage the company. The company picked two CEOs to maximize synergies between the two companies in this period when the chip business is sort of on a decline due to the economic situation.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the company picked Noh Jong Won, the president of SK hynix and chief business officer of Solidigm and David M. Dixon, the senior vice president and general manager of the NAND Solutions firm's data center storage group, to serve as co-chiefs of the chip company that is based in California.
Soldigm said that Noh and Dixon are the best executives for the position as they have already proven their leadership in the field. "They are the most qualified given their proven leadership in the data-center solid-state drive (SSD) business and business optimization, respectively," the company explained.
It added that the former previously led Solidigm's efforts to explore new business opportunities and build deeper relationships with business partners, while Dixon has a 28-year work experience at Intel Corp. as an enterprise SSD expert.
The company said Dixon "has been at the forefront of Solidigm's efforts to set up SSD development strategies and plan products as the head of the company's data center group." Moreover, Noh also worked for SK Telecom, and he has shown his expertise in various facets of the business, such as setting up strategies and handling mergers and acquisitions.
Finally, The Korea Herald reported that the new co-CEOs are replacing Kwak Noh Jung who is SK hynix's president and chief product and production officer. Kwak assumed the chief role when Solidigm's CEO, Rob Crooke, suddenly left the company in November 2022.
