Brenden Wright

Vice President, Global Talent Acquisition and HR Operations at Veeco

At Veeco, our team is our competitive advantage. We thrive on solving the most challenging technical and business problems and believe we can achieve what others can't. Our process equipment solutions enable the manufacture of LEDs, flexible OLED displays, power electronics, hard drives, compound semiconductors, MEMS, semiconductor advanced packaging and wireless chips. We are the market leader in MOCVD, MBE, Ion Beam, Wet Etch single wafer processing and other advanced thin film process technologies. With the right talent and culture, anything is possible. To that end, I develop recruiting strategies and teams that identify and attract top talent within the semiconductor, high-tech, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries. My recruiting experience includes leading the global talent acquisition functions for public, not-for-profit, and privately held organizations. I thrive on the most difficult recruiting and selection projects and my expertise spans multiple functional areas with a primary focus on executives, highly specialized science and engineering leaders, and technical contributors. Before beginning my career in executive search and talent acquisition, I served in the US Marine Corps as a Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Specialist. I was promoted meritoriously twice and was honorably discharged at the rank of Sergeant. I began my undergrad studies while serving on active duty and completed that work at the University of Phoenix with a BS in Business Management. I later went on to complete my MBA with a concentration in leadership from Loyola University Maryland. Let's talk. It could be your first step to a brighter future.
