Newsweek: Exclusive Interview with Co-Founder & CEO, Gene Sheridan

"My entire career and personal life have revolved around identifying market opportunities and addressing underserved needs. The most significant challenge I've encountered is the electrification of our planet, which ties into sustainability, fossil fuel reduction, and climate change.

The goal is to make electricity so compelling that we transition from gas-powered cars to electric ones, and from gas heating to electric heat pumps. For 30 years, we relied on silicon to manufacture power chips. Over the last decade, however, we've developed compound semiconductors-gallium nitride and silicon carbide-that are far more energy-efficient and reliable than traditional silicon."
