CHIPS Act Staff Leads Announced

The U.S. Department of Commerce recently announced leaders and staff joining a newly established “CHIPS for America” team who will play key roles implementing the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act provisions to support the semiconductor industry. The CHIPS for America team pulls together talent from across the public and private sectors, including leaders with experience managing large federal programs, experts from the semiconductor industry, and executives with financial sector experience. These individuals will serve in the CHIPS Program Office, which is housed within the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). 

“CHIPS for America will put our country at the forefront of semiconductor innovation, R&D, and technology implementation, and we are excited to welcome these accomplished individuals to DOC and NIST,” said Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and NIST Director Laurie E. Locascio. “These leaders have decades of experiences across government, industry, and the R&D space and will play an essential role standing up this historic program.”
