In February, Micron CEO Mark Durcan (Mark Durcan) announced his dismissal after three decades of work in the company. He first announced plans for leaving his post in 2012, when he was president, but the death of then-executive director Steve Appleton caused Mr. Durkan to postpone his dismissal indefinitely and continue working in Micron as its head.

Now the board of directors Micron finally chose Sanjay Mehrotra (Sanjay Mehrotra), who will become the new president and CEO of the company. The departure of Mr. Durkan and the replacement of his said leaders will come into force in the coming days - May 8.

Over the shoulders of Sanjaya Merotra, she has extensive experience in the industry. In particular, he was one of the co-founders of SanDisk in 1988, and then from 2011 served as president and CEO of the company until it was taken over by Western Digital in 2016. Before Sanjay Merotra took the position of executive director of SanDisk, he served as chief operating officer, chief technology officer and head of product development.

Under the leadership of Mr.

Merotra, the company's annual revenues reached $ 6.6 billion, and SanDisk sold as a result of an impressive $ 16 billion. Given the many years of experience of this manager in one of the leading memory companies, he is a very promising candidate for the role of head of Micron.

Mark Durkan will leave both the post of executive director and Micron board of directors, but will remain on the consultant's position for several more months, until the beginning of August.
