Removing last two sentences from lead ("He had been a longtime executive in the graphics chip business, serving in many positions at ATI Technologies before it was acquired in 2006 by AMD. In May 2015, he was appointed to Maxwell Technologies board of directors.") to keep lead concise.
Renaming "Education" section to "Education and personal life".
Replacing first citation in "Education and personal life" section with a secondary source rather than a primary one: [2]
Adding to end of "Education and personal life" section: He is an avid runner and has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.[1]
Combining "Early career", "At AMD" and "Awards" sections into single "Career" section. Adding information (including info bumped from the lead) and secondary sources, particularly to replace primary sources:
Bergman began his career at IBM, and later worked in management roles at Texas Instruments, Inc. and Exponential Inc. He was chief operating officer at S3 Graphics until January 2001.[2] He then served in many positions at ATI Technologies before it was acquired in 2006 by AMD.[3]AnandTech wrote that Bergman was "instrumental in helping stage ATI's comeback as a player in the GPU space".[4]
At AMD, he was senior vice president and general manager of the Products Group.[5] Bergman was responsible for delivering microprocessors and graphics chips to AMD's customers and for Fusion, which are the combination chips that put a graphics chip and processor on a single piece of silicon.[6]
In September 2011, Bergman departed AMD to become President and CEO of Synaptics.[7] In 2014, Bergman placed Bronze in Best in Biz's "Executive of the Year" awards.[8] He became a Director of Maxwell Technologies in 2015.[2]
For reference, all these proposed edits are mocked up in my sandbox. Due to my COI, I won't be editing this page directly, so I'd greatly appreciate any help or feedback. Thank you! Mary Gaulke (talk) 21:11, 28 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
Done, for the most part. I've made a few minor changes, most notably, vetoing the contents of the "awards" section. I'm not a fan of including awards that haven't demonstrated their significance, particularly when they require an entry fee to participate. Altamel (talk) 03:29, 4 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
