Nanoveu expands US team with appointment of deep tech executive to accelerate semiconductor growth
Singapore-based Nanoveu (ASX: NVU) has expanded its US team with the appointment of deep technology expert Scott Smyser to the role of vice president (sales and marketing) of its semiconductor technologies division.
Mr Smyser is an accomplished commercial executive with over 25 years’ experience in leading business development, sales and go-to-market strategies across the semiconductor, MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems), photonics and medical device industries.
His track record of building multi-million-dollar sales pipelines, launching innovative product lines and driving go-to-market strategies aligns with Nanoveu’s ambition to expand its semiconductor footprint and establish itself as a global technology leader.
Critical role
Nanoveu expects Mr Smyser’s skills to play a critical role in positioning its semiconductor division for long-term growth across high-impact verticals such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, wearable health technologies and smart energy systems.
He will specifically be responsible for assisting the company in achieving its commercial objectives following the acquisition of system-on-a-chip semiconductor business Embedded AI Systems in March.
Mr Smyser’s appointment follows recent milestones to support Nanoveu’s global commercialisation strategy including the recruitment of Mark Goranson to head up the semiconductor division.
The company also signed a strategic research and development partnership with The American University in Cairo that will provide Nanoveu with access to world-class research talent and advanced chip design infrastructure.
New chapter
Mr Goranson said Mr Smyser’s appointment marked an “exciting new chapter” for the company.
“Scott is not just a sales leader—he is a growth architect and his track record in scaling revenues, launching new product lines and forging strategic partnerships that have transformed companies speaks for itself,” he said.
“With Scott leading our semiconductor growth strategy, we will be positioned to accelerate our commercialisation and unlock the full value of our technology solutions to enterprise and original equipment manufacturer customers worldwide.”
Pivotal time
Mr Smyser said he was keen to join Nanoveu at a pivotal time in its journey.
“Nanoveu’s mission to reshape the ultra-low-power edge semiconductor landscape through innovation and strategic execution aligns perfectly with my passion,” he said.
“I look forward to driving engagement and growth, delivering meaningful results and contributing to the company’s emergence as a technology leader.”
