CEO/PRESIDENT , SUMMIT INTERCONNECT
WHY: Oversees largest privately held maker of printed circuit boards (PCB) in the U.S., including 400 employees in Orange County.
IN THE NEWS: Leading lobbying effort to expand CHIPS Act.
QUOTABLE: “For the CHIPS Act to have the intended impact, Congress must take strong action to support the whole ecosystem.
