Lisa Su is one of my favourite professional top managers. Since she was appointed a CEO of AMD in late 2014, she rapidly turned around a struggling company and created almost $90B of value for shareholders. This happend not without luck: Intel, AMD’s archrival, has been mismanaged during the period; cryptocurrency market took off and demand for AMD products accelerated; risky product bets made by Lisa early on paid off handsomely. Still, given the extremely poor shape of AMD in 2014 and dramatic transformation of business since then, I believe Lisa played a crucial role in this story. Although AMD is a semiconductor company, many of the lessons we can learn from Lisa are universal and can be applied in different industries.
