Speaker Bio: 

Leslie is a computer scientist who began her career writing compilers, operating systems, and advanced communication software. She led her team to deliver the first commercially available ground-breaking Remote Procedure Call (RPC) technology. 

In the middle of her career, she made a pivotal realization: project failures weren't due to technical hurdles, but rather rooted in managerial and leadership challenges. Determined to rectify this deficiency, she built leadership training programs which she has presented across 6 continents (sorry, Antarctica!), focused on innovation and preparing effective leaders. Her enthusiasm lies in instilling engaged leadership skills that resonate with the aspirations of today's young tech professionals and entrepreneurs. Her training programs benefit not only from her background as a computer scientist, but also from her use of real scenarios to engage her audience.

Leslie's mission is to empower organizations to go beyond delivering products. Her guiding principle? Engaged leaders empower teams, reduce turnover, and drive towards excellence in quality. She cares deeply about the lives and careers of software developers, and her work revolves around making their lives and careers great!

Title:
SusTech Talk August 2024 – Semiconductor Supply Chain Decarbonization
Date:
August 27th
8:00 AM (1 hour)
Abstract:

SusTech 2025 is hosting talks on Sustainability topics.

“Semiconductor Supply Chain Decarbonization”

with Peter Spiller, Partner, McKinsey & Company, Frankfurt Germany

Date/Time: Tuesday August 27th 17 CET, 11 am ET, 8 am PT

Growing demand for semiconductors driven by trends such as GenAI, Automation, and E-mobility means industry emissions from semiconductor manufacturing are likely to increase over the coming years. A significant step-up in decarbonisation efforts is required to mitigate these emission increases while simultaneously bringtng the semiconductor industry on a path to net-zero by the 2030s. A successful net-zero transition however, cannot be accomplished by semiconductor manufacturers alone and requires broad collaboration within the semiconductor value chain as well as R&D efforts. Semiconductor customers, OEMs, and materials suppliers all play a pivotal role to accomplish decarbonization through carbon data-based decision making in sourcing, design, capex, and sales, along the value chain.
