GlobalFoundries

Elevating Leadership and Sales Performance Worldwide

Client Overview

GlobalFoundries Inc., a leading American semiconductor foundry headquartered in Santa Clara, California, manufactures integrated circuits at scale for global technology leaders such as AMD, Broadcom, Qualcomm, and STMicroelectronics. With a vast global footprint that includes fabrication plants across the U.S., Singapore, and Germany, GlobalFoundries plays a critical role in powering innovation in the semiconductor industry.

The Challenge

To sustain its competitive edge, GlobalFoundries identified two significant opportunities:

Global Leadership Development: The CEO recognized the need for a comprehensive leadership program to strengthen senior leadership capabilities across the organization.
Sales Performance Improvement: Under increasing pressure to deliver quarter-over-quarter revenue growth, Mike Cadigan, SVP of Client Design Enablement, sought a solution to elevate the performance of the global sales organization.

Both initiatives required a trusted partner with proven expertise to deliver measurable results.
