“Dr. Fitzgerald represents the pinnacle of innovation and leadership in the MEMS and sensors industry,” said Charlene Soucy, senior director, Sensors & Electronics, Questex. “Having grown AMFitzgerald from a startup to an internationally recognized MEMS and microtechnology product development firm in just over two decades, Dr. Fitzgerald has helped hundreds of companies realize their vision in silicon. In addition, her expertise extends to emerging areas such as quantum sensor and computing technology, underscoring her forward-thinking approach and adaptability. We’re delighted to recognize Dr. Fitzgerald as Executive of the Year at the 2024 Best of Sensors Awards.”

“At the founding of my company, I chose to develop a multitude of emerging MEMS-based technologies into exciting products on behalf of our clients — rather than make an all-in bet on a single product,” said Dr. Fitzgerald, founder and CEO, AMFitzgerald. “I’m gratified that my choice of career path continues to advance scientific achievement, technology development and commercial production-readiness in MEMS and sensors. Having attended this conference over the past 15 years, I’m deeply honored to receive this recognition from the Best of Sensors Awards committee.”
