We are in good hands here.....

By 2011, GLOBALFOUNDRIES was hitting full stride, continuing
to add customers and reaching significant manufacturing milestones as
AMD’s 32 nm processor shipments increased by more than 80% from
the third quarter to the fourth quarter. In fact, GLOBALFOUNDRIES
exited 2011 as the only foundry to have shipped in the hundreds of
thousands of 32 nm high-K metal gate (HKMG) wafers.
New Leadership for a New Era


With the initial growing pains behind it, the company now was squarely
focused on growth and implementing its vision. To that end Ajit Manocha
was named CEO of the company in late 2011. A skilled leader, he brought
more than 30 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, having
held senior positions at Spansion, NXP and AT&T Microelectronics.
Manocha was a safe pair of hands to bring the company to the next
stage. Manocha understood the value of partnerships and collaboration
well and quickly wove that philosophy deeper into the fabric of the
company. Collaborative Device Manufacturing (CDM) became the
new mantra for the model GLOBALFOUNDRIES espoused, under
the name Foundry 2.0, and brand name customers and partners from
around the ecosystem embraced it. In January 2014, Sanjay Jha was
appointed CEO and Manocha returned to his role advising the owners
