The appointments come less than a month after the GLOBALFOUNDRIES Board of Directors confirmed Ajit Manocha as the company’s Chief Executive Officer. Durn, Bartlett and Ang will report directly to Manocha. Durn replaces Robert Krakauer, who is leaving GLOBALFOUNDRIES to pursue other interests.

Most recently, Durn served as Executive Director of the Investment and Strategy Unit of the Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC), the shareholder of GLOBALFOUNDRIES. Bartlett will step into the newly-created CTO position, with Suresh Venkatesan succeeding Bartlett as lead of the company’s Technology Development (TD) organization on an interim basis.

The appointments are part of an ongoing effort by Manocha to align GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ structure to better meet the needs of its customers. Separating technology strategy and its roadmap from technology development – and better coordinating TD with manufacturing operations – will enhance time to market and operational excellence, according to the company.
