Mark D. Papermaster (born 1961)[1] is an American business executive who is the chief technology officer (CTO) and executive vice president for technology and engineering at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).[2][3] On January 25, 2019 he was promoted to AMD's Executive Vice President.[4]

Papermaster previously worked at IBM from 1982 to 2008,[5] where he was closely involved in the development of PowerPC technology[6] and was two years as vice president of IBM's blade server division. Papermaster's decision to move from IBM to Apple Inc. in 2008 became central to a court case considering the validity and scope of an employee non-compete clause in the technology industry.[7] He became senior vice president of devices hardware engineering at Apple in 2009,[5] with oversight for devices such as the iPhone. In 2010 he left Apple and joined Cisco Systems as a VP[1] of the company's silicon engineering development.[8] Papermaster joined AMD on October 24, 2011, assuming oversight for all of AMD's technology teams and the creation of all of AMD's products,[9] and AMD's corporate technical direction.[2]
