Meet Your Directors

Four members of the Board of Directors are elected at the PSMA Annual Meeting held every year during the APEC conference. Each Director serves a three year term and is eligible to be reelected for one additional term.

In this issue, we will introduce you to Michel Grenon and Conor Quinn.
 


Michel Grenon has been a member of the Gaïa Converter company for 12 years where manufacturing of COTS type DC/DC converters and peripherals has been promoted to leaders in the Aeronautical, Military, Transportation and Industrial market segments.  Marketing and sales, R&D and manufacturing are all skills involved in increasing market penetration and customer satisfaction.

Having survived the Telecom revolution for 25 years, with companies such as Siemens, Alcatel, Motorola, Stromberg-Carlson and Nortel, as well as private entities that enabled the introduction of networks based on fibre and PC technologies allowed me to develop a vast experience with many different topologies.

My involvement with PSMA has allowed us to create a network of contacts amongst the industry and directly impacted our knowledge of all the different technologies and players, and is an unbelievable source of information on where the future will take us all.

As everyone knows, there aren't many things these days that does not need some sort of power!
