SanDisk has announced that Dr Eli Harari, Co-Founder, retired Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SanDisk, was awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation by the National Science Foundation for his significant contributions towards the development and proliferation of flash memory.
The award represents the nation’s highest honour for advancing science and technology by recognizing those who have made lasting contributions that have created a greater understanding of the world and improved the lives of many. U.S. President Barack Obama conferred the medal at a ceremony held at the White House, which was attended by leading dignitaries and other medal laureates.
“I am proud to congratulate my fellow SanDisk co-founder and friend, Eli, on this tremendous achievement. The flash memory technologies he helped to pioneer have had a profound impact on the entire technology landscape, firmly establishing SanDisk as a global leader and connecting us in ways we never thought possible. His lifelong intellectual and technical achievements are well-deserving of the National Medal of Technology and Innovation,” said Sanjay Mehrotra, Co-Founder, President & Chief Executive Officer, SanDisk.
Dr Harari co-founded SanDisk more than 25 years ago with the vision of using flash memory to store data in mobile products.
