Wise Integration announced the appointment of Ghislain Kaiser as its new Chief Executive Officer. Kaiser succeeds co-founder Thierry Bouchet, who will continue as Chief Technology Officer and General Manager, leading worldwide R&D and driving the company’s technological vision.
Ghislain Kaiser brings deep experience in scaling high-tech ventures and leading global semiconductor teams. In 2006, he co-founded Docea Power, a French EDA startup that introduced full-chip, system-level power and thermal modeling to address the rising challenges of energy consumption and heat in IC and platform design. Under his leadership, Docea Power became a market leader before being acquired by Intel in 2015.
At Intel, Kaiser spent the following decade in senior director roles, most recently overseeing system simulation engineering and a worldwide customer enablement organization. His work tackled the most critical challenges in designing consumer, data-center, and AI systems, from power and thermal management to overall performance optimization. He began his career at STMicroelectronics, where he held technical and leadership roles in test, product engineering, design, and architecture.
With Kaiser at the helm, Wise Integration is positioning itself to scale globally and tap into fast-growing markets such as AI-driven data centers and electric vehicles, both of which demand more efficient, compact, and digitally controlled power architectures.
“I’m thrilled to join Wise Integration and build on its success in providing customers with differentiated solutions in power electronics,” said Kaiser. “This team has created an R&D-driven culture and a strong foundation to lead the GaN power electronics transformation worldwide.”
Chairman Patrick Boulaud welcomed Kaiser’s appointment as a major milestone for the company’s evolution from a CEA-Leti spinout into a global force in GaN and digital power management innovation. Co-founder Thierry Bouchet added that with WiseGan® devices and WiseWare® digital control, the company has already built a strong foundation in consumer markets. The next step, he emphasized, is scaling innovations to deliver unmatched efficiency and power density to AI servers, data centers, and automotive systems.
