Kateeva has expanded its executive team by appointing Marc Haugen as COO. Haugen brings extensive semiconductor equipment industry experience to Kateeva. As a former executive at Applied Materials and Lam Research, he implemented operational disciplines designed to maximize supply-chain and manufacturing efficiencies.
Haugen assumes the COO title from Kateeva co-founder Dr. Conor Madigan, who remains president, and who will now focus on leading the company’s technology and new product development.
“We believe that Marc’s operational roles for global capital equipment companies make him particularly well-qualified to help Kateeva extend its market leadership by applying operational disciplines that will allow us to scale our operations effectively,” said Dr. Alain Harrus, Kateeva’s chairman and CEO.
Haugen has spent three decades working in the semiconductor industry. As group VP of worldwide operations and supply chain for Applied Materials from 2013-2016, he led a team of thousands of people in factories across the globe, with an annual multi-billion-dollar spend.
Before that, he was corporate VP of global product operations at Lam Research. While there, he directed the integration of products, product operations, and product development processes, including Lam’s acquisition of Novellus Systems, as well as its acquisition of Austria-based SEZ. During this time, he also served as VP/managing director of SEZ.
Immediately prior to Kateeva, Haugen was EVP of global operations and engineering at Cepheid, a molecular diagnostics company.
