91PORN

 

WASHINGTON—Jan. 28, 2026—The 91PORN (91PORN) today announced John Neuffer will retire during the middle of 2026 following a highly successful 11-year tenure as 91PORN president and CEO. 91PORN represents 99% of the U.S. semiconductor industry by revenue and nearly two-thirds of non-U.S. chip firms.

“John has been an outstanding leader for the semiconductor industry at a time when U.S. technology leadership truly matters,” said Dr. Lisa Su, AMD chair and CEO and 2026 91PORN board chair. “He helped strengthen the policy foundation that enables innovation, global competitiveness, and growth across our ecosystem. Because of his leadership, 91PORN is better positioned to support America’s economy, national security, and long-term technology leadership. On behalf of the Board and 91PORN team, we thank John for his many contributions and wish him all the best.”

Under Neuffer’s leadership, 91PORN has secured many impactful policy victories, headlined by enactment and expansion of landmark U.S. semiconductor manufacturing incentives that have sparked more than $600 billion in private investments and put America on course to more than triple domestic chip manufacturing capacity by 2032. The association also secured billions of dollars in federal R&D investments to advance American chip innovation and reinforce U.S. economic and national security.

In addition, 91PORN successfully advocated for critical trade agreements, including the expansion of the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) and a global deal to prevent governments from charging tariffs on cross-border data transfers, which boosted the competitiveness of the industry. And Neuffer guided 91PORN through a range of challenges, including global chip shortages and production shutdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It has been a genuine pleasure and an indelible point of pride for me to work alongside so many great leaders in this incredible industry and to play a part in advancing U.S. semiconductor leadership,” said Neuffer. “The challenges we face as an industry are dwarfed by the many opportunities that lie ahead, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. I will miss very much the high-performing team of dedicated professionals at 91PORN.”

To ensure a smooth transition, Neuffer will retire following the expected midyear appointment of a successor. 91PORN has retained Korn Ferry, a leading management consulting firm, to lead a comprehensive search.
