Ready for something we’ve never done before?

I’m looking for a Chief of Staff to partner with me on driving Applied Materials India’s strategy and execution agenda, helping advance our Vision 2035 goals.

You’ll work with me and our leadership team, engaging senior leaders at headquarters, government stakeholders and external partners. You’ll tackle strategic questions, drive priority initiatives and turn positive intentions into results.

We’re breaking new ground. There won’t always be a playbook. You’ll need to think clearly, bring structure to ambiguity and move things forward without having every answer.

Three essentials—all required:

- An engineering or physical science degree and experience in hardware / engineering / science organizations.
- An MBA.
- Consulting experience.

Beyond the credentials, I’m looking for curiosity, strong communication, attention to detail, disciplined follow-through and an open mind. Someone willing to roll up their sleeves, challenge my thinking and push me to be my best.



You should also know how to laugh at yourself. And at me.

What you can expect from me: High standards, honest feedback, and a real investment in your growth. I’ll challenge you, coach you and support your professional ambitions and personal commitments. I don’t have all the answers, and I am not an expert - but working collaboratively we will figure it out.

This is envisioned as a two- to three-year role. Success will position you for growth within Applied Materials in India or overseas, building the knowledge, credibility and experience to take on greater responsibility in the business. People who have thrived in similar roles with me have accelerated their careers. I’m committed to helping the right person do the same.

Interested? Send your résumé and a short note: What have you helped change, what was your contribution, and why this role, and anything else that may make me want to have a chat.
