SEMI and the SEMI Foundation, the industry association representing the global electronics design and manufacturing supply chain, announced that KT Moore, Vice President of Corporate Marketing at Cadence Design Systems, has received the 2023 SEMI Foundation Excellence in Achievement Award for his outstanding leadership in promoting diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging (DEIB) and workforce development in the semiconductor industry.
Moore received the award today from Kate Dei Cas, Senior Vice President, Global Head of Delivery Systems and Services at EMD Electronics, on the keynote stage at SEMICON West 2023 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. EMD Electronics underwrites the award.
“By prioritizing DE&I work at Cadence and in the broader community, I’ve found that the greatest reward is the impact this work has on others,” said Moore. “Watching those we’ve made connections with gain access to resources they may not have otherwise had—such as education, community programs, technology, career opportunities—can be truly transformational. I’d like to thank the SEMI Foundation for the Excellence in Achievement Award, and I’m honored to be recognized alongside previous recipients who have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to advancing DE&I initiatives. As Cadence continues to reaffirm its dedication to DE&I initiatives internally and among the community, I look forward to working on new collaborations that focus on giving back and making a difference.”
“Throughout his distinguished career at Cadence, KT has been the embodiment of DEIB, advocating for women and other underrepresented groups in both his personal and professional life,” said Shari Liss, Executive Director of the SEMI Foundation. “He is a tireless supporter of STEM education, collaborating with inclusion group leaders, providing strategic counsel and serving as a mentor and coach. We’re proud to honor KT with the SEMI Foundation Excellence in Achievement Award and look forward to working together to promote greater inclusion, diversity, equity and belonging in the semiconductor industry workforce.”
The SEMI Foundation Excellence in Achievement Award recognizes people who have made significant contributions to the global microelectronics industry and to society in workforce development and diversity, equity and inclusion.
