Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, guest speaker Mike Russo was a proponent of advanced manufacturing and the importance of keeping industry as an economic driver in the United States. In his current role, he oversees government relations, regulatory affairs, and strategic initiatives in the U.S. for GlobalFoundries, Inc.
