Guruswamy brings more than thirty years of senior semiconductor engineering experience, with earlier roles at both AMD and Freescale
U.S.-based manufacturer of proprietary GaN power electronics NexGen Power Systems has appointed Ganesh Guruswamy as its Chief Systems Officer.
Guruswamy, who is a 30+ year industry veteran, will oversee NexGen’s Global Systems Engineering group, with established engineering facilities located in Santa Clara, California and Syracuse, N.Y., and a Center of R&D Excellence in Bangalore, India.
Guruswamy joins NexGen from Western Digital, where he served for six years as Senior Vice President for Product Development. He brings more than thirty years of senior semiconductor engineering experience, with earlier roles at both AMD and Freescale.
Guruswamy expects to accelerate NexGen’s already fast growth in Bangalore, where he previously helped to expand Western Digital’s significant engineering presence.
“Ganesh’s extensive experience in leading engineering teams, and a proven track record of scaling and driving technology excellence, especially in India, makes him an ideal fit as Chief Systems Officer,” said Dinesh Ramanathan, NexGen’s Co-Founder and Co-CEO.
“The NexGen R&D team in Bangalore has helped to develop the world’s most efficient power systems, switching at 1+MHz, and making the systems 60% smaller and 50% lighter than comparable electronics. This is only the beginning as we introduce game-changing innovation across multiple consumer and industrial applications,” said Ganesh.
