Jim Morgan - retired CEO and Emeritus Chairman, Applied Materials
Jim Morgan is the retired CEO and emeritus chairman of Applied Materials, the leader in materials engineering solutions used to produce virtually every new chip and advanced display in the world. Over nearly three decades—one of the longest tenures of a Fortune 500 CEO—Morgan led Applied Materials through a period of tremendous growth – from under $20 million to over $9 billion in revenue – expanding its product offerings and reinforcing its global presence. Under Morgan’s direction, Applied Materials helped unlock seemingly impossible process innovations, allowing the industry to keep up with the promise of Moore’s law. Recognized as a global humanitarian, Morgan co-founded the Northern Sierra Partnership and has provided leadership to organizations including the Nature Conservancy, the Tech Museum and the Center for Science, Technology and Society, and he continues to advance educational and environmental causes through the Morgan Charitable Foundation.
