Super Micro Computer has appointed Mark Long as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. He will report directly to Founder, President, and CEO Charles Liang.
Long succeeds David Weigand, who will assist with the transition before shifting his focus toward helping optimize and accelerate Supermicro’s business.
Long brings decades of experience across corporate finance, strategy, mergers and acquisitions, capital allocation, and technology infrastructure. He most recently served as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Strategy Officer of Western Digital, where he oversaw financial management, investor relations, and corporate strategy.
Earlier in his career, Long co-founded technology-focused investment firm Prime Impact Capital and served as a partner. He also previously held the role of Senior Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development at Hitachi Global Storage Technologies.
Long also spent part of his career in investment banking, where his work focused on the software, cloud infrastructure, and storage sectors. Supermicro said it conducted an extensive search process to identify a candidate with the financial and strategic experience needed for the position.
The appointment comes as Supermicro continues expanding its AI and high-performance computing infrastructure business. The company develops servers, AI systems, storage products, networking infrastructure, software, and other data center technologies and is seeking to capitalize on continued growth in AI and IT infrastructure spending.
Supermicro said Long will play a key role in strengthening the company’s financial foundation, operational execution, and capital strategy while supporting its expansion across AI, cloud, enterprise, storage, and 5G and edge infrastructure markets.
