SanDisk® Welcome from Eli, CEO of SanDisk
Eli Harari, Chief Executive Officer
Well, its been quite a week. Dov and I are together
at the groundbreaking for our Fab 4 with Toshiba
in Yokkaichi. It was very exciting for me to join msystems company meetings Monday and have the
opportunity to introduce SanDisk and the acquisition rationale to you. The deal understandably is
full of deep feelings, sadness mixed with happiness, high expectations mixed with high anxiety,
excitement mixed with fatigue for the team that has worked on the transaction for the past few
weeks.
mystems, under Dovs leadership and vision,
has achieved phenomenal success in highly competitive
markets, through transforming excellent concepts into real products and real markets. At the end
of the day though, it is the people of msystems that made all this
happen. It is you, the msystems team, that attracted us towards this union.
In the next few months, we will be working together on transforming the two companies into a
unified, focused team that we expect will accelerate the pace of innovation and lead our industry
in the coming decade. We believe that the combination will be very good for msystems customers,
partners, suppliers, shareholders and you, the employees. The challenges we will face together are
immense, however working as one team, I know we can make it happen.
I am excited and honored by the trust that Dov has placed with us through this agreement. These
transition periods are never easy but by focusing on the opportunities with your customers, you
will give us a head start on the exciting future we have together.
Look forward to our joint success.
May the force be with Us!
Eli
