Chief architect. AKA engineer.

His LinkedIn literally says, "Senior Director": https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerard-williams-iii-27895aa/

It's not like he was some kind of low-ranking IC engineer

Director in this sense does not mean what it means in the definition for "duty of loyalty", which is talking about board members, not (even high-ranking) employees.
Wikipedia is good for a broad definition of the term "duty of loyalty" but in CA that duty extends to all employees (see e.g. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/sd-fi-eaton-26...).
Well, being a "senior director" (sounds like an oxymoron to me) would seem to apply.
