Growth doesn’t happen in the comfort zone. Neither does leadership.
SkyWater’s Austin fab, Fab 25, has a long history of transformation. From its IDM roots to now a key part of a U.S.-based supply chain, the site continues to evolve to meet growing demand for secure, scalable semiconductor manufacturing.
AnhThu Tran's 28-year journey reflects that same evolution. A self-described introvert, she chose to step into challenges that pushed her beyond her comfort zone. That decision shaped her path from engineer to Head of Production during a pivotal time for Fab 25. Her perspective is simple. The moments that feel the most uncomfortable are often the ones that matter most. “Leadership is a skill you build. The best opportunities are often the ones that feel the hardest to take.”
