Overview
President and CEO of AMD since 2014, who took the company from a roughly $2 billion market cap widely expected to fail to over $250 billion today, with a net worth estimated between $1.3-1.6 billion almost entirely in AMD stock — and, notably, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's first cousin.
Dependency Map
One hop in each direction — see Strategic Connections below for the full, sourced breakdown of every relationship.
Strategic Connections
Supply Chain
- Meta: Under Su's leadership, AMD's MI300X accelerator became Meta's chip of choice for all live traffic serving its Llama 405B model.
- OpenAI: OpenAI signed a multi-year chip supply agreement with AMD in late 2025 under Su's leadership, providing a hedge against sole dependence on NVIDIA.
Development
- Advanced Micro Devices: Lisa Su has served as AMD's President and CEO since October 2014, overseeing its transformation from a roughly $2 billion market cap company widely expected to fail into one exceeding $250 billion today.
Strategic Risks
- Despite AMD's market cap growth exceeding 14,000% under her leadership, Su's personal wealth remains less than 1% of Jensen Huang's — an unusually large compensation-structure gap between the CEOs of the two companies most directly competing in AI accelerators
Future Outlook
- MI400 chips targeting 2026 following MI350's launch with 35x the inference performance of predecessors
- Reappointed to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) in 2026
