Singapore Semiconductor Industry Association (SSIA)’s Post

As semiconductor production increases exponentially in the U.S., companies will need a highly skilled workforce of scientists and engineers to develop the next generation of semiconductor chips, and women and diverse leaders must be part of this equation. In the spirit of Moore’s Law, we need to double the number of women in leadership roles in the industry and STEM-focused women candidates joining the industry. Join us in the #EqualityLounge at #MWC24 for a conversation on why rejuvenating the U.S. semiconductor industry will only be successful with women and minorities in the workforce. • Ronda Carnegie, Chief Innovation Officer, The Female Quotient • Nicole Wakefield, Partner, PwC • Kamila Sidiqi, Founder & Managing Director, Kaweyan Sustainable Solutions  • Angela Baker, Chief Sustainability Officer, Qualcomm

"Diversity is a key ingredient for the microchips industry, both at the company and people level," says Stephan Schmuck, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Manager at ESCP Business School. Sharing his thoughts on the impact of diversity in the #microelectronics sector. Stephan highlights the dual benefits of diversity: ✨ For Companies: It strengthens #recruitment and retention pipelines, attracts top talent, and fosters innovation through diverse perspectives. ✨ For People: An #inclusive and #equitable workplace increases engagement, improves productivity, and creates a happier, more committed workforce, ensuring longevity in both careers and company performance. At the European Chips Diversity Alliance, we couldn’t agree more. By championing diversity, equity, and inclusion, we are paving the way for a stronger, more innovative microelectronics ecosystem. 👏 A big thank you to Stephan Schmuck for sharing these valuable insights and advocating for a brighter, more inclusive future! #EuropeanChipsDiversityAlliance #DiversityInTech #Microelectronics #Innovation #Inclusion #Leadership

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 🌈 To me, it’s crucial to recognize that 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 are not just buzzwords, but 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀. I am proud that Infineon, again, is taking a stand and is actively supporting Munich Pride, also in 2024.   As President of Infineon’s Automotive division, it is my goal to ensure that Infineon, with the contribution of my division, is a place where 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗱. 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀 is an essential part of my leadership core values. I think it is important that we motivate one another create a workplace where we welcome differences and create the best Infineon for everyone. No matter the gender, the age, the ethnicity, the culture, the sexual orientation, or the philosophy of life: I welcome diversity and inclusion in my community because I strongly believe the more perspectives we get, the better opportunity we get to achieve more.   Let’s drive diversity and make a stand for diversity – it's the right thing to do.    PS: Make sure to spot the Infineon car at Munich Pride. 🚗 🌈   #Infineon #Infineonpride #ProudAtWork #PrideMonth #beInfineon #WeAreIn #Diversity #Inclusion #BestInfineonforeveryone #Mobility #Automotive

🌟 Heraeus Electronics Celebrates Women’s History Month! 🌟 In celebration of Women's History Month, Heraeus presented an insightful and inspiring webcast featuring a panel of women leaders from across our organization. The event was hosted by Dr. Emily Hunt, Medical Science Liaison for Heraeus Medical. Over 140 employees gathered for the opportunity to gain valuable insights and advice. The panelists included: ⭐ Katharina Apitius: Head of Sales (EMEIR), Heraeus Medical, Wehrheim, Germany ⭐ Kim Atkinson: Customs and Export Control Manager, Heraeus, Yardley, PA ⭐ Kim Jessum, Esq.: Chief IP US and Associate General Counsel for Heraeus, Yardley, PA ⭐ Tonya Lee: EHS Manager for Heraeus Electronics, West Conshohocken, PA ⭐ Mannette Tulud-Plana: Regional Manager of Direct Procurement, Heraeus Precious Metals, Santa Fe Springs, CA Tonya Lee, EHS Manager, was asked to share her thoughts on the importance of psychological safety in the workplace, and here is her response: “There needs to be a safe space so that each individual’s potential and ideas can flourish freely. We can’t be offended, we can’t be stifled, we can’t be crushed. Because that crushing feeling may last, especially for young women, not temporarily but permanently. We have to be more assertive so that our ideas that are presented are embraced. Similarly, diverse teams bring diverse ideas, and every idea is important. You may think I know this field, I have these ideas, and I know where we want to go, but someone always comes up with something different that you never thought about. It’s those additional, different perspectives that make personal and business teams thrive.” Heraeus is committed to creating a positive, diverse, and inclusive workplace where every employee has an equal opportunity to grow and succeed. #LeadershipDevelopment #InclusionMatters #ChangeMakers #WomenLeaders #WomenHistoryMonth #Heraeus #HeraeusElectronics
