Marvell Technology, Inc. announced the appointment of Dan Durn as Chief Financial Officer, effective June 15, 2026. The leadership transition supports the company’s AI infrastructure growth strategy.
Dan Durn will succeed Willem Meintjes in the CFO role. Meanwhile, Meintjes will remain in an advisory position through April 2027 to support the transition process.
Additionally, Durn resigned from Marvell’s Board of Directors on June 10, 2026. The company also reaffirmed its second-quarter fiscal 2027 financial outlook.
Matt Murphy, Chairman and CEO of Marvell, praised Willem Meintjes for his long-term leadership and financial discipline. He also highlighted Durn’s deep semiconductor industry experience.
Dan Durn Brings Extensive Semiconductor Finance Experience
Durn previously held leadership roles at Adobe, Applied Materials, NXP Semiconductors, Freescale Semiconductor, and GlobalFoundries. He served as CFO at Adobe from October 2021 to June 2026.
Furthermore, Durn earned an MBA in Finance from Columbia Business School. He also received a degree in Control Systems Engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy.
Matt Murphy, Marvell’s Chairman and CEO, said, “Since I began my role as CEO a decade ago, Willem has been an integral part of Marvell, and his contributions have been instrumental to our strong financial and operational positions. Willem joined Marvell just a few weeks before me in 2016, and I leaned on him considerably, both early on and beyond. During his tenure, Willem helped build our finance organization from the ground up and served as a steady and trusted partner through some of the most consequential periods of growth and transformation in our history. The financial discipline and operational credibility we have today is in no small part a reflection of the work he put in year after year. I deeply appreciate Willem for his partnership and we all wish him well in his next chapter.”
Matt Murphy continued, “Having served on our board for the past two years, Dan intimately knows Marvell and its long-term growth strategy. He has also spent the majority of his career in the semiconductor industry, serving as CFO at GlobalFoundries, Freescale Semiconductor, NXP Semiconductors, and Applied Materials, and brings a level of industry-specific fluency that is rare. He understands how these businesses work, how they scale, and what it takes to lead finance through periods of significant growth. That depth of experience, combined with his understanding of the capital markets and operational demands of businesses at our scale, makes him well-suited to help us continue to win in what we believe is a once-in-a-generation AI infrastructure build-out.”
Dan Durn added, “I have long admired Marvell’s technology leadership and the critical role it plays at the center of the AI and data infrastructure ecosystem. I am excited to join the Marvell management team at such a dynamic moment for the Company and the industry. Together with Matt, Marvell leadership, and the finance organization, I look forward to driving continued growth and delivering value for shareholders and customers as Marvell accelerates its AI and data infrastructure strategy.”
Willem Meintjes said, “After 10 incredible years, I am moving on to spend more time with my family. Working closely alongside Matt and the entire Marvell finance organization has been one of the great privileges of my career, and I’m very proud of what this organization has built together. Dan brings outstanding credentials and a strong understanding of this business that will serve Marvell well. I look forward to supporting him and the team through this transition.”
