New CSO to introduce game-changing innovation in industrial applications
NexGen Power Systems says industry veteran Ganesh Guruswamy, as its Chief Systems Officer, will oversee global engineering facilities in Santa Clara, California and Syracuse, New York, as well as the Bangalore Center of R&D Excellence which brings together experts in power electronics, mechanical design, software, testing and board layout.
Guruswamy, with 30+ year of experience, is expected to accelerate NexGen’s already fast growth in Bangalore, where he previously helped to expand Western Digital’s significant engineering presence, said NexGen, a leading designer, developer and the US-based manufacturer of proprietary power electronics and conversion systems using patented Vertical GaN™ technologies.
“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,” Dinesh Ramanathan, NexGen’s Co-Founder and Co-CEO, said on 2 Feb 2022, announcing Guruswamy appointment.

“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,” he said.
