Why this pay?
- His fiscal 2025 pay was $30.9 million, mostly performance stock on a $1.45 million salary, as high-bandwidth-memory demand recovered. Two years earlier, during the memory glut, his non-equity cash bonus fell to zero — a clean illustration of how tightly his pay tracks the cycle.
Worth knowing
Micron’s CEO Sanjay Mehrotra co-founded the flash-storage pioneer SanDisk in 1988 and ran it until its 2016 sale — then took over a rival memory maker, Micron, the next year.
