Navitas Semiconductor has appointed Gregory M. Fischer to its Board of Directors, effective immediately, strengthening its leadership as the company scales in high-growth power semiconductor markets.
Fischer brings more than 40 years of semiconductor industry experience, having held senior leadership roles at major companies including Broadcom, Conexant Systems, and Rockwell. He currently serves as an independent director at Semtech and advises multiple technology firms, adding governance and strategic expertise to Navitas’ board.
At Navitas, Fischer will serve on the Compensation and Executive Steering committees and is expected to support the company’s transition toward its next growth phase, often referred to as “Navitas 2.0,” focused on scaling GaN and high-voltage SiC solutions.
From a strategic perspective, this appointment comes at a pivotal time as Navitas targets expansion in AI data centers, energy infrastructure, and industrial electrification. Strengthening board-level expertise is critical as the company navigates rapid growth, increasing competition, and the transition from innovation-driven scaling to sustained profitability.
Fischer’s background in both operational leadership and board governance is particularly relevant as Navitas continues to commercialize its GaNFast and GeneSiC portfolios across high-power applications.
From a market standpoint, the move reflects a broader trend among power semiconductor companies to reinforce leadership teams with experienced executives capable of guiding growth through capital-intensive expansion cycles and evolving end-market dynamics, especially in AI-driven and electrification markets.
