At Stanton Chase, we help semiconductor companies find and develop the leaders who can drive innovation, improve performance, and guide their organizations through the changes shaping this industry. Our semiconductor executive search practice is supported by our proprietary Search+™ methodology and in-depth leadership assessment process.
We work with organizations across the semiconductor value chain—from large integrated device manufacturers to highly specialised fabless companies and equipment suppliers. Each faces its own set of challenges: equipment manufacturers must deliver new capabilities ahead of the market, while chip producers juggle high capital investment with constant pressure to lower costs. Leadership changes in these environments can slow production schedules, disrupt engineering programs, and affect long-term customer relationships.
That’s why our approach goes beyond simply filling a vacancy. Search+™ is a partner-led, fully personalised process that starts with a clean slate, uses tailored research, applies our Fit-for-Purpose Leadership Assessment Framework, and includes onboarding acceleration to ensure new leaders deliver value from day one.
We also help organizations prepare for the years ahead through our full suite of services, including semiconductor leadership succession planning—ensuring continuity in critical roles, leadership assessment to evaluate both prospective hires and existing leaders, and executive onboarding for semiconductor leaders, which accelerates a new hire’s effectiveness in the first months of their tenure. This integrated approach reduces the risk of turnover and helps companies maintain momentum during transitions.
