Doller Consulting Group provides senior-level consulting and expert services across the semiconductor memory and storage industry.
Led by former semiconductor executives Ed and Ellen Doller, DCG brings complementary experience spanning technology, AI memory utilization, product strategy, operations, supply chain, industry economics, intellectual property and litigation.
Memory and storage decisions rarely fit neatly into either a technical or business category. A technology transition changes manufacturing cost. AI workloads reshape bandwidth, capacity and storage requirements. Manufacturing constraints alter market economics. Supply agreements can determine whether a product strategy succeeds.
DCG helps companies, investors, financial institutions and legal teams turn these complex relationships into clear, actionable insight.
