Semiconductor fabless company Exina announced on the 14th that it had named Steve Fingerhut as chief business officer (CBO). Led by CEO Kim Jin-young, Exina said the appointment is aimed at strengthening its push into the global AI infrastructure market.
Steve Fingerhut has more than 25 years of experience in the global semiconductor industry. As CBO, he will oversee global sales and business development, product planning and management, strategic partnerships, marketing, and go-to-market strategy.
Exina cited Fingerhut's appointment as part of its plan to secure customers for MX1 and push ahead with full-scale commercialization. MX1 is a CXL (Compute Express Link)-based compute memory solution, and its main targets are hyperscalers, cloud service providers, and enterprise customers.
Fingerhut previously worked at Intel, Marvell, Micron, and Qualcomm. At those companies, he was responsible for businesses related to data centers, computing, memory, and storage.
During his time at Qualcomm, Steve's most recent role was leading technology collaboration in the Meta-data center sector. During that period, he coordinated the development direction of AI, computing, and networking technologies, and he also led Qualcomm's multigeneration supply deal for data center CPUs for Meta's next-generation servers.
At Pliops, he served as president and CBO, overseeing sales, marketing, and business development. There, he reorganized the business around accelerating machine learning processing and secured one of the world's top five hyperscalers as a customer. He also secured major SaaS and CDN customers.
At Marvell, he served as senior vice president of the storage business unit, where he handled product management and business development. He led the reorganization of the product lineup to meet demand for machine learning training and inference, and drove technology adoption among hyperscalers and equipment manufacturers. He previously held senior executive positions at Micron, Kioxia, and SanDisk.
Based on this background, Exina said Steve is well equipped with extensive experience in data center business growth, collaboration with global technology companies, and commercialization of new technologies. Exina CEO Kim Jin-young said he expects this experience to help commercialize MX1 and expand the company's global business.
CBO Fingerhut said he sees strong potential in Exina's memory-centric computing technology, which involves performing computation close to where data is stored. Based on that view, he said he will push ahead with applying MX1 to real customer environments and use that effort to expand business opportunities in the global AI infrastructure market.
