Wolfspeed launches data-center solutions team in Silicon Valley
Wolfspeed Inc of Durham, NC, USA — which makes silicon carbide (SiC) materials and power semiconductor devices — is expanding into the rapidly growing data-center market with the creation of a dedicated data-center solutions team and regional office in the San Francisco Bay Area. The new data-center solutions team is targeted at enabling closer alignment with leading hyperscalers, ODMs and the entire ecosystem to build differentiated products and solutions for AI and other data-center applications.
Demand for next-generation data-center power architecture innovations has never been greater. Wolfspeed reckons that this move more effectively positions it to deliver high-voltage SiC power solutions engineered to drastically reduce energy loss and maximize efficiency for modern AI infrastructure.
“The sheer scale of AI computing demands a fundamental rewrite of data-center power architecture,” says CEO Robert Feurle. “Moving to higher voltages is no longer optional — it’s a necessity. With our new data-center solutions team at the epicenter of tech innovation, Wolfspeed is uniquely positioned to deliver the high-voltage solutions our hyperscaler and ODM partners need to build the efficient data centers of tomorrow,” he adds.
Ganesh Srinivasan joins as senior VP to lead the data-center solutions team. He has worked closely not only with hyperscalers but also with the entire ODM ecosystem to deliver end-to-end power and signal connectivity solutions for high-density AI clusters.Srinivasan was most recently VP of product management for the AI, Cloud and Enterprise business at TE Connectivity. Previously, he spent more than 17 years leading multiple power business product lines at Texas Instruments. He holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech.
Yogesh Ramadass joins as VP, Power Systems Solutions & Fellow, in the data-center solutions team. He is an expert in high- and low-voltage power topologies and author of more than 160 technical articles. Ramadass most recently led R&D efforts across high-voltage power management, MEMS and sensors at Texas Instruments. He holds S.M. and Ph.D. degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is a former IEEE Distinguished Lecturer and chair of the ISSCC Power Management Subcommittee.
Wolfspeed says that the investment demonstrates its commitment to strengthen its capabilities to support long-term growth, effective execution, and value creation for customers and shareholders worldwide.
