Matt Murphy, Marvell’s Chairman and CEO, said, “Since I began my role as CEO a decade ago, Willem has been an integral part of Marvell, and his contributions have been instrumental to our strong financial and operational positions. Willem joined Marvell just a few weeks before me in 2016, and I leaned on him considerably, both early on and beyond. During his tenure, Willem helped build our finance organization from the ground up and served as a steady and trusted partner through some of the most consequential periods of growth and transformation in our history.

Matt Murphy continued, “Having served on our board for the past two years, Dan intimately knows Marvell and its long-term growth strategy. He has also spent the majority of his career in the semiconductor industry, serving as CFO at GlobalFoundries, Freescale Semiconductor, NXP Semiconductors, and Applied Materials. He brings a level of industry-specific fluency that is rare. He understands how these businesses work, how they scale, and what it takes to lead finance through periods of significant growth.
