MORRISVILLE, NC (July 7, 2020) — The International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI) today announced that Mostafa Aghazadeh of Intel has been elected Chairman of the iNEMI Board of Directors.

I have no doubt that he will provide excellent leadership to iNEMI as Chairman of the Board. His knowledge of the industry and deep relationship network will be a tremendous asset to the organization.”

He has not only helped guide iNEMI during his years on the board but has also been a strong ambassador for the consortium throughout the electronics manufacturing supply chain.
