Aimtron Group Engages Don Southerton as Strategic Advisor, Korea Technology Partnerships, for AimSemi Semiconductor Initiative

The engagement supports Korean partnerships in fabless design and IP, and in OSAT/ATMP packaging and testing, under the Aimtron 2.0 global platform strategy.

Aimtron Group is pleased to announce that it has engaged Don Southerton, Founder and CEO of Bridging Culture Worldwide LLC, as Strategic Advisor, Korea Technology Partnerships, for the company’s AimSemi semiconductor initiative.

Southerton brings extensive experience in Korea and US business strategy, cross border partnerships, market entry, localization, and executive advisory. He will support Aim Semi’s efforts to identify and develop strong Korean technology partnerships across two strategic areas:

• Fabless semiconductor design and IP

• OSAT/ATMP semiconductor packaging and testing

The engagement represents another step in Aimtron 2.0, the company’s vision to build an integrated global semiconductor and electronics platform spanning design, technology partnerships, packaging and testing, ESDM, and advanced manufacturing.

“Korea is home to some of the most capable semiconductor design and packaging partners in the world, and building those relationships takes more than introductions. It takes trust and cultural fluency. Don has spent his career doing exactly that work, and he strengthens our ability to execute the AimSemi strategy,” said Mukesh Vasani, Chairman Aimtron Group.

“Aimtron is building something ambitious, and the Korea, US, and India corridor is where a great deal of the next decade of semiconductor value will be created. I am glad to help AimSemi find the right partners and build relationships,” said Don Southerton, Founder and CEO of Bridging Culture Worldwide LLC.

Aimtron welcomes Southerton to the Aimtron journey and looks forward to building meaningful partnerships between Korea, the United States, and India.
