ITHAQUE, NY, June 22, 2021 / PRNewswire / – Odyssey Semiconductor Technologies, Inc. (“Odyssey”, “Odyssey Semiconductor” or “the Company”), a semiconductor device company that develops innovative high voltage power switching components based on proprietary gallium nitride (“GaN”) processing technology , today announced the appointment of John S. Edmunds to its board of directors. Mr. Edmunds will also be chairman of the audit committee.

Mr. Edmunds brings more than 40 years of financial experience, including 20 years as a Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of a public company with small-cap semiconductor companies. Most recently, he spent 13 years as Chief Financial Officer of Inphi Corporation (“Inphi”) and led the company until its IPO in 2010. Inphi was recently acquired by Marvell Technology, Inc. for 10 billion dollars.

Previously, Mr. Edmunds was CFO of Trident Microsystems and CFO of Oak Technology. He was previously a Chartered Accountant at Coopers and Lybrand, after which he held various management positions at Tandem Computers for 11 years until 1997. He graduated from the Hass School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley.

“John is an incredible addition to the Odyssey team, and in particular to the audit committee,” said Alex behfar, Chairman and CEO of Odyssey Semiconductor. “His depth and vast experience will be a great asset to our company as we continue to innovate and lead this industry into the future.

In addition to Mr. Edmunds, Odyssey recently added Cornell University Professor Khurram Afridi to its board of directors. The company announced in April that it had raised $ 5 million (1.25 million shares at $ 4.00 per share) in a private placement of common shares to further fund development and production of high voltage vertical conduction GaN power switching devices. Odyssey has developed new GaN processing technology to produce high voltage power switching devices that will break down long standing performance barriers for high power and high voltage applications such as electric vehicles, solar power, power grids and industrial engines.

In 2020, Odyssey began trading on the OTCQB Venture marketplace (the “OTCQB”) under the symbol ODII and is focused on the high end power switching device market. The high-end power switching device market, which is described as applications in which silicon-based systems perform inadequately, is expected to reach over $ 3.5 billion by 2025.
