Marvell Technology’s billionaire co-founder, Sehat Sutardja, has died
Sehat Sutardja, the chip industry pioneer who is best known for co-founding Marvell Technology, has died aged 63 years old, according to a statement from a company where he serves on the board.
The billionaire, who was born and raised in Jakarta, started Marvell Technology with his brother Pantas Sutardja and wife, Weili Dai, in 1995 before leading it to become one of the world’s largest chipmakers.
In a statement published on Wednesday, Alphawave Semi – the London listed chipmaker Sutardja joined in 2019 – said the former Marvell Technology CEO had passed away and that his wife would be taking over his position as an interim executive director.
“Dr. Sutardja was one of the pioneers of the modern semiconductor industry and a strong supporter of Alphawave Semi. His loss will be felt globally across his entire portfolio of technology companies and philanthropic endeavours,” Alphawave Semi said in a statement.
