My Take

I'll be honest, Lisa Su is one of the few CEOs who genuinely makes me geek out. When she took over AMD in 2014, the company was basically left for dead, and the fact that she turned it into a real threat to Intel and a serious player in GPUs is the kind of comeback story I can't help but root for. What I love is that she's an actual engineer first, with the MIT credentials and the IEEE honors to back it up, not some finance guy parachuted in to cut costs. She comes across as calm, relentless, and deeply technical, the rare leader who clearly understands the silicon as well as the spreadsheet. Honestly, she's become a quiet icon for me, and I'll always respect that.
