Ms. Button joined the Diodes Board in April 2021 as an independent director and has served as Lead Director since May 2023, during which time she has helped strengthen independent Board oversight, facilitated effective communication between independent directors and management, and advanced the Board?s focus on strategic priorities and long-term value creation.
