Regional VP for semiconductor automation.

Semiconductor cleanroom automation growth required a regional VP with fab logistics and robotics P&L experience — placed in ten weeks across Japan, Taiwan and the US.

FANUC's semiconductor cleanroom automation business was outgrowing its leadership structure. A regional VP was needed with fab logistics credibility and robotics P&L ownership — a profile spanning automation vendors and semiconductor capital equipment.

PER ran a confidential retained search across Japan, Taiwan and the US, sequencing outreach to protect customer relationships during the transition.

The regional VP was placed in ten weeks. Semiconductor automation roadmap approval followed within the first ninety days — the early indicator FANUC's board had set.
