The Executive Team

The Nisvara team brought together a world-class group of individuals chosen for their long records of expertise (generally 20-plus years) in specific areas critical to Nisvara's hardware mission. The team has changed many times in the three years since Nisvara’s inception, reflecting the various stages of research and development from initial vision through demonstrable technology and product. These capabilities include industry-changing vision, system design, engineering and product management, manufacturing, materials science, hardware systems, storage systems, and system marketing.

The company is getting ready to take its next step. We are recruiting senior level individuals who have experience in the start up environment and fit the needs of a “come to market” stage. The next team will have the depth of history to be able to apply patterns of success that match the Nisvara strategy to practical tactics as Nisvara changes the way computers dispose of heat.
