Mr. Goranson's appointment marks a significant milestone in NVU's expansion into semiconductor innovation in anticipation of the transformational acquisition of EMASS. Mr. Goranson will lead technology development and commercialisation efforts for EMASS's ultra-low-power SoC technologies, driving growth across IoT, AI, smart devices, and renewable energy applications. Mark Goranson's journey in the semiconductor industry spans over 40 years, during which he has consistently been at the forefront of technological transformation, operational excellence, and innovation. His leadership is defined by his ability to build from the ground up, driving results and creating sustainable value for some of the technology companies. A Career Built on Delivering Commercial Semiconductor Solutions: Over Mark's 18-year career at Intel, he held multiple positions including Fab Manager, Engineering Manager, Manufacturing Manager, People Systems Manager, and Quality Manager, overseeing both Wafer Fab and Assembly/Test factories. Mark was responsible for multiple factories, both domestically and globally, and was instrumental in building facilities that set new benchmarks for efficiency and performance. These factories became the backbone of Intel's ability to meet global demand and solidify its position as a market leader Mark also previously held the role of Vice President of Fab Operations at Freescale Semiconductor, at the time a $4 Billion global leader in the production of analog, microprocessors, microcontrollers, and semiconductors. In this role, Mark directed operations across six facilities worldwide, leading 4,800 team members. At ON Semiconductor, Mark concluded his tenure as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Operations, overseeing all global operational resources and managing 22 facilities worldwide with a team of 26,000 employees and 3,000 contract workers. He directed Wafer Fab, Silicon Foundry, and Assembly/Test operations for, at the time, the $3B semiconductor manufacturer, which produced analog mixed-signal ASICs, discretes, and a wide range of other semiconductor products. Mark's most recent role was at TE Connectivity, where he served as Vice President of Global Operations for the Sensors Division, overseeing the Worldwide Sensors Operations for Wafer Fab, Silicon Foundry, and Assembly/Test manufacturing. In this role, he directed operations across 28 facilities globally with a team of over 4,000 employees and managed all external OSAT/Foundry partners for the $1.5B sensor manufacturer, which produced a wide range of sensor technologies and semiconductor sense elements. Mark's leadership was instrumental in strengthening TE Connectivity's market position by delivering products with unparalleled precision and reliability, while ensuring scalability to meet global demand Other Pivotal Roles Mark Goranson's extensive career includes several key leadership roles that highlight his ability to transform
operations and deliver results across a range of companies and industries. His track record of success in managing large-scale initiatives, optimizing manufacturing processes, and driving innovation has established him
as a leader in operational excellence and strategic execution. At Honeywell ($144 billion Market Cap), Mark was Global Transition Manager, Aerospace, whereby he successfully established greenfield manufacturing facilities in Indonesia (avionics) and Mexico (aircraft engine and APU parts). As Vice President of Manufacturing at Magfusion, Mark directed the start-up, manufacturing, sourcing, quality, and continuous improvement initiatives for the Maglatch RF MEMS micro switch. He spearheaded the negotiation of foundry manufacturing contracts and managed NPI products through the line, test, and assembly operations, overseeing a team of 47 technicians and engineers. He also played a critical role in the sale of the company, including its assets and IP, ensuring maximum value creation for stakeholders. At PowerTek International, Mark was Chief Operating Officer, managing the design and development of new products and features for fuel cell company providing cutting-edge solutions for the camera market. He let teams across engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, finance, marketing, and quality.
