His career includes roles at Agilent, Leica Microsystems and FlipChip International, and more than 12 years at Amkor Technology, where he worked on the commercialisation and production ramps of advanced packaging technologies and R&D programs.
Andrew McKee, currently CTO of Photonics and co-founder of CST Global, which was acquired by Sivers in 2017, will retire from the company. McKee will support the transition to David through the end of 2026.
“Sivers is entering an important new phase. We have built a strong foundation of technology and products across wireless and photonics, and our focus now is on turning that foundation into commercial growth and scale,” said Vickram Vathulya, president and CEO of Sivers Semiconductors. “We are strengthening our senior leadership team to help drive that next phase, and I am proud that Sivers continues to attract people of this caliber from across the industry. Their decision to join us is a strong endorsement of our technology, our team and the opportunity ahead.”
Vathulya added: “I also want to thank Harish and Andrew for their passion and drive as founders to develop our technologies and businesses to their current state at Sivers. We wish Harish all the best on his new assignment as CSO, and Andy a well-deserved retirement and time with his family.”
