About Mark Najarian

I am a technical strategy leader focused on shaping competitive advantage at the intersection of advanced semiconductor technology, platform economics, and long-range enterprise strategy.With a foundation in Materials Science & Engineering from UC Berkeley and nearly two decades inside advanced-node manufacturing ecosystems, I translate deep technical complexity into executive-level strategic clarity. My experience spans advanced logic, HBM, 3D NAND, chiplet architectures, and emerging packaging inflections — where roadmap decisions, yield dynamics, and capital allocation materially influence long-term positioning.At Thermo Fisher Scientific, I lead global platform strategy and commercialization for next-generation in-line metrology systems serving Tier-1 semiconductor manufacturers. I define multi-year roadmaps, develop ROI-driven investment frameworks, and align Engineering, Applications, and GTM teams around scalable growth objectives. In 2025, this disciplined approach delivered 300% of revenue plan while strengthening cross-functional execution and strategic alignment.My focus includes:• Competitive landscape modeling and differentiation strategy• 5–7 year platform roadmap planning• Capital allocation and investment prioritization• Technology inflection forecasting (AI infrastructure, advanced packaging, HBM integration)• Translating technical architecture tradeoffs into economic outcomes• Executive narrative development grounded in dataI am energized by roles that shape enterprise direction — including platform strategy, AI infrastructure planning, and corporate development. I bring technical depth and economic fluency to conversations involving portfolio positioning, ecosystem expansion, and long-term capital strategy.I thrive in environments where ambiguity is high, stakes are material, and strategy must be grounded in technical truth. My long-term focus is contributing at the enterprise level — influencing technology portfolios and building durable advantage in advanced compute ecosystems.Key Strengths:• Enterprise Platform Strategy & Multi-Year Roadmap Ownership• Competitive Differentiation & Market Landscape Modeling• Capital Allocation, ROI Analysis & Investment Prioritization• AI Infrastructure & Advanced Packaging Ecosystem Insight (HBM, Chiplets, 3D Integration)• Translating Technical Architecture into Economic & Strategic Outcomes• Executive Decision Framing & Data-Driven Narrative Development• Cross-Functional Strategic Alignment (Engineering, Product, Sales, Operations)• Revenue Growth Strategy & P&L Influence
