Lynn McNeil is leaving her position of VP, FABrIC, November 30, 2025 

November 11, 2025: Throughout her career Lynn has been a tireless champion for Canada’s semiconductor industry. She’s been a major player during an era of great achievement and change for the sector. Her impact has been felt across the spectrum – from industry giants, to startups, to teaching and mentoring the emerging generation of semiconductor talent. Always a tireless advocate for the accomplishments and untapped potential of the Canadian industry, in recent years, she dedicated her efforts to growing the Canadian semiconductor ecosystem. As VP, FABrIC at CMC, she continued that work — and played a critical role getting the initiative off the ground, growing the ecosystem and positioning this generational investment for ongoing success.  

Through FABrIC, Lynn has been a true partner to the entrepreneurs and researchers developing the next generation of semiconductor and IoT products in Canada. Crucially, she built connections with end-sector industries that rely on semiconductor innovation to compete and thrive. She built meaningful relationships with leaders in mining, ocean/marine tech, agriculture, medtech and automotive, amongst others, sparking collaborations essential for a vibrant ecosystem. 

A dedicated, responsible steward of public funds, she accelerated innovation in the semiconductor industry and inspired emerging innovators to build here, in Canada, where some of the finest minds in the industry learn, train and develop.  

FABrIC’s continued success rests on the strong foundation and absolute commitment to excellence Lynn brought to this initiative. FABrIC represents an extraordinary opportunity for Canada’s semiconductor sector.  As FABrIC moves to its next phase, Lynn felt the time was right for change. Her last day at CMC will be November 30th. It’s been an exhilarating journey so far.  Thank you for everything, Lynn. Everyone at CMC wishes you the very best.
