At Marvell, breakthrough innovation is intentionally cultivated through strong technical leadership. Senior technical leaders do more than solve the hardest problems in the industry. They set the technology roadmap, mentor the next generation and drive innovation across teams.

That’s where the Technical Leadership Mentoring Program (TLMP) comes in. The 12-month journey sponsored by Corporate Chief Technology Officer Noam Mizrahi creates leaders who can champion innovation, sculpt the company’s technology roadmap and drive cross-functional collaboration at the highest levels.

CTO Noam Mizrahi gives his opening remarks to the 2026 leader cohort.

TLMP offers a development journey with immersive workshops, real-world application activities, a leadership 360˚ assessment to pinpoint development areas, and 1:1 mentoring with Marvell executives. This unique combination sets TLMP apart as an industry-leading technical leadership initiative. Through TLMP, participants sharpen how they shape strategy and lead with impact in a constantly evolving, competitive industry.

Program Impact

• 4 cohorts since launch in 2022
• 63 senior technical leaders reached across the organization
• 30+ executive mentors in active rotation

Some of the participants from the 2026 cohort share their experience below:

“TLMP changed how I think about my role,” said Distinguished Engineer Dan Scofield, “not just as a technical resource, but as a connector and enabler for others.”

“The program moved me from being a technical expert to a technical leader who actively influences, inspires, and shapes the direction of our teams and technology,” explains Distinguished Engineer Ulf Hanebutte.

“TLMP made me realize that being a technical leader is much more than technical expertise,” reflects Distinguished Engineer Michal Kalderon. “It gave me the space to stop, reflect, and get intentional about who I am as a leader and who I want to become.”

“Through TLMP, I became far more intentional about how I communicate a vision to my team,” says Distinguished Engineer Frances Clougherty, “and it gave me hands-on practice I could apply the very next day.”

“The program helped me stop thinking like an expert and start leading like one, with the confidence and frameworks to drive change across teams I don’t manage,” says Distinguished Engineer Nagaraj Shirali.

“TLMP broadened my perspective, improved how I communicate, and changed how I approach problems across the company,” explained Distinguished Engineer Seth Merriman.

The program transforms leaders, helping them expand and strength their network, accelerate their professional growth, and better lead key projects that drive the company’s technology vision forward.
