Joe Sanguedolce

Joe has been involved in the electron microscopy industry since 1984, starting as an engineer developing systems enhancements for Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs). He moved on to a major EM manufacturer, Hitachi, where he worked for almost 20 years in Sales and Marketing, ending his career there as Director of their Nanotechnology Group in the USA. A 5-year stint with Veeco Instruments’ Metrology Division had Joe heading many of the Marketing groups there, from Product Marketing to MarCom, and finally to management of the Sales & Marketing activities for the Veeco Probes MEMS factory, all along working with the same labs he’d dealt with in EM.

Recruited back into the formal electron side of microscopy by Gatan, Joe spent 10 years there as Vice President of Global Sales managing the worldwide channel in excess of $180M in sales until the opportunity with Protochips convinced him to join this dynamic organization. Joe is excited by the opportunities in front of Protochips to truly make fundamental improvements that bring unexpected and impressive enhancements in performance and productivity to the TEM community.
