FMS 2025 Announces Its 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award Winner

Longtime Industry Leader Jim Pappas to Be Honored

(PRUnderground) June 24th, 2025

FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage conference is pleased to announce this year’s recipient of its Lifetime Achievement Award: Jim Pappas. FMS will honor Jim when it presents the award during the morning Keynote session at 11:30am PDT on Tuesday, August 5, the first day of its annual conference at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley.

Jim earned this prestigious award for his leadership in establishing foundational industry standards and organizations which have underpinned the success of not only the memory and storage industries, but also for many other aspects of computing.  His extensive contributions started in 1991 with his work to establish the PCI-SIG and the PCI standard, which later led to his work in defining the PCI Express (PCI-e) standard.

Shortly after Jim joined Intel in 1994, he worked with 7 companies including IBM and Microsoft to create the hugely successful USB standard. With SNIA he started the Persistent Memory Technology Initiative, and also chaired the Compute Express Link (CXL) Consortium, drove formation of Universal Chiplet Interface Express (UCIe), and was President of Ultra Accelerator Link (UAL) for AI scale-up architectures.

“For over 30 years, Jim Pappas has played a pivotal role in creating a number of the most important standards and industry organizations which have been critical in the dramatic growth of the memory and storage industries” said Tom Coughlin, FMS General Chair. “We are proud to honor Jim in this way so that more people around the world are aware of the important work that he has done over the past 30 years.”
