Wise Integration appoints new CEO
Wise Integration, the France-based specialist in digital control for GaN and GaN IC-based power supplies, has appointed Ghislain Kaiser as CEO.
Kaiser succeeds CEO and co-founder, Thierry Bouchet, who will continue to serve as CTO and general manager, leading R&D and driving the technological vision.
Kaiser brings experience in scaling deep-tech ventures. In 2006, he co-founded Docea Power, a French EDA startup pioneering full-chip, system-level power and thermal modelling, with the vision of addressing the growing power-consumption and thermal challenges in IC and platform design.
As CEO, he led the company to its acquisition by Intel in 2015. He then joined Intel, where for the next decade he held senior director roles, most recently overseeing system-simulation engineering and worldwide customer-enablement organization. Those programs tackled critical power, thermal, and performance challenges in designing consumer, data centre, and AI systems.
Kaiser began his career at STMicroelectronics, where he held technical and leadership positions across test and product engineering, design, and architecture teams.
With Kaiser's appointment, Wise Integration says it is positioning itself to scale globally and capitalise on booming markets such as data centres powering artificial intelligence (AI), and electric vehicles (EV)— 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 differentiated solutions in power electronics to meet their biggest challenges,” Kaiser said. “This talented team has created an R&D-driven culture and a robust foundation to lead the GaN power electronics transformation globally.”
“On behalf of the board of directors, I am pleased to welcome Ghislain Kaiser as Wise Integration’s new CEO, and to compliment the team for their exceptional work,” said board chairman Patrick Boulaud. “This marks a major milestone for the company as it transitions from a CEA‑Leti spinout into a pioneering force in GaN and digital power management innovation with strong growth potential. Ghislain’s background makes him a natural choice as the CEO to guide the company through this next stage of growth.”
“Ghislain’s arrival begins a new chapter for Wise Integration,” Bouchet added. “With our WiseGan devices and WiseWare digital control, we’ve built a strong foundation in consumer markets. Now it’s time to scale our innovations and tackle the next big challenges—bringing unmatched efficiency and power density to AI servers, data centres, and tomorrow’s automotive systems.”
