Marc Benowitz became CEO of iNEMI in January. This followed nearly 40 years at AT&T, Lucent, Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia Bell Labs, where he began as a member of the technical staff in the interconnect technology lab, and ultimately worked his way up to senior director of the reliability, hardware test and eco-environmental engineering organization.  Marc was no stranger to iNEMI, having been a member of the consortium’s board of directors since 2001 and chairman since 2013.

He speaks with Mike Buetow about the transition from the private sector to fulltime consortia work, and his goals and priorities for iNEMI.
