About Ray Ciferno
I am an accomplished sales executive with extensive global experience in the semiconductor and technology industries, known for driving business growth through customer-centric strategies and innovative solutions. Currently, I lead advanced packaging at ASM International, where I spearhead strategic sales initiatives and cultivate key relationships with partners across the globe. Previously, as Corporate Director for Intel\'s Global Sales Account at ASM, I managed a $500 million relationship with Intel, growing market share to over 50% and expanding the business sevenfold. My focus has always been on aligning sales strategies with customer needs to achieve exceptional results. In earlier roles, I established a cost-effective fabless supply chain at Akustica, which helped secure successful capital raises and optimize operational efficiency. At Marconi PLC, I managed a $180 million business unit, consistently delivering high profitability while expanding our service offerings. A few of my notable achievements include negotiating a $500 million sales contract and securing a $5 million equity investment at Intel, which strengthened our partnership and enhanced supply chain resilience.I’m passionate about leveraging customer insights and technological advancements to fuel business growth. If you\'re looking for someone with a proven track record of driving success in fast-paced, competitive markets, and would like to collaborate, I’d love to connect.Feel free to reach out to me here on LinkedIn.
