Everspin Appoints Sean Dougherty Vice President of Sales
Veteran semiconductor executive to lead global sales and product marketing
CHANDLER, Ariz. – Everspin Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRAM), the world's leading developer and manufacturer of magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM), announced today the appointment of Sean Dougherty as Vice President of Sales, effective immediately.
Dougherty brings over two decades of experience in the semiconductor industry, spanning engineering, customer enablement, and global sales leadership roles. Most recently, he served as Chief Revenue Officer of Intel's Altera division, where he led global revenue-generating functions including sales, field applications engineering, and business management. Before that, he led Altera's Worldwide Technical Customer Enablement organization, overseeing technical sales and support teams globally. In his role at Everspin, Dougherty will lead the company’s sales strategy and growth, provide leadership to its sales and marketing team to secure new business while ensuring customer satisfaction.
Earlier in his career, Dougherty held engineering leadership roles in the communications sector, managing teams focused on ASIC, FPGA, and system design for high-volume commercial deployments. He has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from the Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston.
David Schrenk, who has been the VP of Sales and Business Development for the last three years, will now focus his efforts exclusively on Business Development. Schrenk successfully navigated Everspin to a path of revenue growth while developing strategic partnerships, which has turned into a personal objective and passion for him.
"We have reached a point in our journey where both sales execution and strategic partnerships require distinct and dedicated leadership,” said Sanjeev Aggarwal, President and CEO of Everspin. “This structural change reflects our ambition to accelerate both direct revenue monetization and strategic expansion, allowing us to better serve our customers and unlock new opportunities. Sean brings a combination of engineering depth and customer-first sales leadership, and his track record of building high-performing teams and scaling revenue aligns perfectly with our next phase of growth across new and existing markets."
"Everspin's MRAM solutions are solving data persistence and power challenges across industries," said Dougherty. "I'm excited to help expand that reach through deeper technical engagement, strong global partnerships and continued delivery of differentiated memory solutions."

Everspin and Lattice Semiconductor Collaborate to Bring High-Reliability MRAM Solutions to FPGA Platforms
Everspin’s PERSYST MRAM Validated for Configuration Across All Lattice Semiconductor FPGA Families
CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE) –Feb 18, 2025-- Everspin Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRAM), the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) persistent memory solutions, today announced that its PERSYST MRAM is now validated for configuration across all Lattice Semiconductor Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). Enabled through the Lattice Radiant™ software suite, this validation highlights MRAM's role as a robust and reliable configuration memory device for a wide range of applications in industries such as industrial, aerospace, military, and automotive.
The shift from traditional flash memory to MRAM in FPGA configuration reflects the growing demands of modern applications. Unlike NOR flash, which requires long program and erase time, MRAM offers high endurance, fast read/write speeds, and exceptional data retention. These attributes make MRAM particularly suited for mission-critical environments, including real-time sensor processing, data logging in avionics, and in-orbit reprogramming for space systems. Customers are already taking advantage of the MRAM support in their designs that utilize Lattice’s FPGA.
