Marco Pieters’ Post

I am honored and privileged to be ASML's next Chief Technology Officer, and I would like to thank ASML's Supervisory Board and Board of Management for the trust they are placing in me. Semiconductors power the modern world. Chips enable ubiquitous computing, the energy transition, advances in science and healthcare. Artificial intelligence has emerged as the next growth engine for the technology industry, and it has given a fresh impetus to Moore's Law and the quest for higher transistor density and faster, more energy-efficient computing power. ASML has a long history of enabling Moore's Law, driving shrink and cost per transistor with innovations such as dual-stage technology, immersion, diffraction-based metrology and e-beam inspection, EUV and High NA. I see a lot of opportunities for us to continue to work with our customers and extend our holistic roadmap, and to explore how we can further expand our offerings for 3D integration. I also see a lot of potential for AI, both in our products and way of working, which we will pursue in partnership with Mistral AI. What we do at ASML is underpinned by our values of Challenge, Collaborate and Care. I am committed to building an exceptional workplace for the technology team where everyone can be at their best and contribute to taking technology further, driven by a care for our people, our customers and our performance. I look forward to getting started, working with our customers, our talented engineers, all the leaders across ASML and our suppliers and partners to develop the right technology, at the right cost and quality, at the right time for our customers.
