Navitas Semiconductor
Appoints Davin Lee
as Independent Director to its Board
Lee Brings Over 30 Years of Semiconductor
and Power Management Experience as Navitas Continues its Strategic Pivot to High-Power Markets
TORRANCE, Calif., May 4, 2026 – Navitas
Semiconductor, (Nasdaq: NVTS), an industry leader in next-generation GaNFast™ gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC™ silicon carbide
(SiC) power semiconductors, today announced the appointment of semiconductor veteran, Davin Lee, to its Board effective immediately. Lee
brings extensive technological and operating experience from leading semiconductor companies to the Board and will stand for reelection
in 2027 as a Class III director. He will serve on the Compensation Committee and the Governance and Sustainability Committee.
“I am pleased to welcome Davin to the Navitas
board of directors,” said Richard Hendrix, Chairman of the Board of Navitas. “Davin’s long history of leadership within
the power semiconductor industry and deep knowledge of power electronics will be invaluable to our board and management team. His appointment
fills an open position on the board and represents another important step in our board refreshment process that we initiated last year.
The board’s intention remains to reduce its size to eight directors at the 2027 annual meeting. We believe this plan provides both
fresh perspectives and continuity during the first year of our new management structure.
“Chris and his team have rapidly and successfully
pivoted Navitas to high-power markets where the combination of our GaN and high-voltage SiC technologies positions us to provide a unique
set of solutions to data center, energy and grid infrastructures, performance computing and industrial electrification markets. His exceptional
team has reestablished revenue growth and increased customer engagement in these high-growth markets, and the board is committed to supporting
this strategic pivot and growth strategy.”
Chris Allexandre, Navitas’ President and
CEO added, “I am also very excited to welcome Davin to our board of directors. He’s joining at a very pivotal time as we accelerate
our transformation to Navitas 2.0 as a high-power semiconductor company. Davin brings a strong background and track record as a semiconductor
executive in scaled-up business operations and power components. He will be an extremely valuable resource to the Company. After announcing
Greg Fisher as a new director last month, this appointment is another step in our corporate transformation, and I want to thank Rick and
the entire board for their support. I look forward to further working with our new and existing directors to make Navitas highly successful
and a recognized market leader in high-power semiconductors.”
Commenting on his appointment, Davin Lee said,
“Navitas is at the forefront of the AI high-power semiconductor revolution, and I am thrilled to join its board as the Company accelerates
its transformation to scale. With its superior GaN and high-voltage SiC technologies, Navitas is uniquely positioned to address significant
power bottlenecks in AI infrastructure. My prior experience was defined by successfully transforming business units to capture new growth
and profitability. I am eager to apply that experience, while also leveraging my extensive power management business background to accelerate
Navitas’ trajectory to deliver profitable growth and sustained shareholder value.”
Lee has more than 30 years of experience at leading,
publicly-traded semiconductor companies, most recently as Senior Vice President and General Manager of Embedded Processing and Analog
and Connectivity at Renesas Corporation. Prior to Renesas, he served in leadership roles at Dialog Semiconductor, Scintera Networks, Intersil
Corporation, Xicor, Altera and National Semiconductor. Lee earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin
and an M.B.A. from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
