DIEGO, Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Endura
Technologies, a pioneer in advanced power delivery solutions for
System on Chip (SoC) applications, announces a significant
transformation in its leadership team, positioning the company for
accelerated growth and innovation in the dynamically evolving SoC
power delivery landscape. Michael
Sanie, a seasoned leader in go-to-market and business
strategy, and a veteran of the semiconductor industry, joins as
Chief Executive Officer. Faraj
Aalaei, former CEO and Chairman of Aquantia Corporation and
Centillium Communications, two semiconductor companies he built
through successful Initial Public Offerings (IPO), steps in as the
new Chairman of the Board of Directors. Additionally, Benny Malek, a visionary in technology
leadership, is named as a new member of the Board.
"We are poised to lead the next generation
in performance, scalability and efficiency in SoC power delivery
applications."
Sanie most recently served as Senior Vice President and chief
marketing executive at Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS). Sanie brings a rich
background in executive leadership, market strategy, business
development, and product management, demonstrating a consistent
trajectory of transforming market challenges into strategic
opportunities. His appointment as CEO is expected to elevate Endura
Technologies' go-to-market and growth.
Aalaei, the founding General Partner at Candou Ventures, is a
seasoned serial entrepreneur and has led multiple companies through
successful IPOs and major acquisitions. His insights and experience
in nurturing technology ventures will be invaluable in steering
Endura Technologies' strategic direction.
Malek is the former CEO of Wavious, as well as a seasoned
executive in semiconductor technology with prior executive roles
including significant tenures, as Vice President of Engineering at
Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) and Chief Scientist at RapidBridge. Malek
offers a strategic vision that will greatly drive the company's
technology leadership and market adoption objectives.
"We are thrilled to welcome Michael, Faraj, and Benny to Endura
Technologies. Their collective experience and leadership are
invaluable assets as we navigate the dynamic and exciting landscape
of SoC power delivery," said Dr. Massih
Tayebi, Founding Partner and Chairman at Bridgewest Group,
Endura Technologies' founding investment team. "With their
guidance, we are poised to redefine and lead the next generation in
performance, scalability, and efficiency in power delivery for SoC
applications across diverse markets."
"The semiconductor industry is undergoing a critical
transformation, particularly in SoC power delivery. The
conventional methods struggle to meet modern application
requirements," said Sanie. "It's a pivotal and exciting time to
join Endura Technologies. Our talented team, armed with extensive
experience, a track record of numerous innovations, and unique
technology, is well-positioned to revolutionize SoC power
management paradigms, addressing current and future market
demands."
Endura Technologies maintains its strong leadership foundation
as Dr. Hassan Ihs, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer;
Keith DeHaven, Vice President of
Engineering; and John Rowland, Vice
President of Manufacturing, remain fully committed to their roles,
ensuring continued excellence and innovation in their respective
functions. In addition, in line with its growth in operations and
market momentum, the company has relocated its San Diego office to a more expansive
state-of-the-art facility.
SoC Power Delivery Redefined
The insatiable demand for more computing and storage performance
has given rise to massively scaled semiconductor server solutions.
One of the fundamental challenges for building server networks at
scale is to power these devices efficiently. As such, the SoC power
delivery landscape is undergoing a radical transformation across
virtually all market segments. In the server segment, for example,
this shift is predominantly driven by the escalating power needs of
AI accelerators, prompting a complete overhaul in power delivery
methods. These methods are being re-engineered from the rack level
down to the SoC level, optimizing performance, scalability, and
efficiency over a broad spectrum of switching frequencies, current
loads, voltage ranges, and silicon manufacturing processes.
Similarly, in the automotive segment, the prominent rise of ADAS
(Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and autonomous driving
technologies coupled with energy demands of electric vehicles are
reshaping automotive SoC power delivery, shifting focus on cost,
efficiency, and scalability of power delivery across frequency,
noise, and voltage options. As such, conventional general-purpose
PMICs (Power Management Integrated Circuits) are being disrupted,
paving the way for advanced SoCs to pair with application-specific
power delivery ICs, chiplets, and in-package structures.
Endura Technologies is leading this transformation by providing
end-to-end SoC power delivery solutions, integrating their
revolutionary, patented architectures, test silicon, design IP,
design services, passive technology (inductors, capacitors, etc.)
partnerships, and silicon manufacturing relationships.
