Former Wolfspeed CEO Gregg Lowe joins Power Integrations’ board
Power Integrations Inc of San Jose, CA, USA (which provides high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion) says that Gregg Lowe is joining its board of directors on 15 February.
From 2017 until 2024, Lowe was CEO of Wolfspeed Inc of Durham, NC, USA, where he led its transition to a pure-play manufacturer of silicon carbide solutions for high-power applications. Previously, he was CEO of Freescale Semiconductor from 2012 until its 2015 merger with NXP Semiconductors. Earlier, he had a 27-year career at Texas Instruments, serving in leadership roles across field sales, automotive sales, marketing and integrated circuits, culminating in the role of senior VP & manager of its analog business, where he helped to direct the acquisition of National Semiconductor.
Lowe currently serves on the boards of Silicon Labs and North Carolina A&T University, and is chairman of the board of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and has completed the Stanford Executive Program at Stanford University.
“Gregg is an ideal fit thanks to his decades of experience in analog and power semiconductors, particularly his expansive knowledge of the sales and distribution landscape and deep customer relationships in key end-markets including automotive and industrial,” comments Power Integrations’ chairman & CEO Balu Balakrishnan.
