EnCharge AI Bolsters Leadership Team with Key Finance and HR Hires Following $100M Series B

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EnCharge AI, the company pioneering scalable analog in-memory AI accelerators to power AI inference from edge to cloud, today announced the appointment of Jason Huang as Vice President of Finance and Leslie Szeto as Director of Human Resources. These key hires support EnCharge's next chapter of growth following its recent $100M Series B funding round, and complement last month's appointment of Dr. Shwetank Kumar as Chief Scientist.

In their new roles, Huang will optimize EnCharge's financial strategy to accelerate commercial growth and market expansion, while Szeto will drive talent acquisition and organizational development aimed at establishing a high performing and global workforce. Together, they will bolster EnCharge's operational capabilities as it transitions from development to commercialization of its breakthrough AI accelerator products.

"We're excited to welcome Jason and Leslie to the EnCharge team," said Echere Iroaga, COO and Co-Founder of EnCharge AI. "As we prepare to bring our technology to market and execute against our ambitious product roadmap, having high-caliber leaders to help scale our operations is critical. Jason and Leslie's combined expertise in navigating high-growth transitions—from startup through IPO and acquisition—provides exactly the financial discipline and talent strategy we need at this inflection point in our journey."

Huang comes to EnCharge with decades of experience steering technology companies through critical growth milestones and successful exits. As Chief Financial Officer at SupplyShift, he orchestrated the company's January 2024 acquisition by Sphera Solutions. Previously, at Arteris, Inc., he led the finance organization through its successful IPO on Nasdaq in 2021. Huang holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from San Francisco State University.

Szeto brings over fifteen years of experience as an HR strategic leader at top technology companies, including Box, Intel, Altera, and Adobe. Her expertise spans talent development, employee engagement, change management, and strategic workforce planning. Szeto holds a Master's degree in Organization Development from the University of San Francisco.

With Huang and Szeto’s leadership, EnCharge is well-positioned to continue strengthening its organizational foundation and attracting world-class talent, as it scales its portfolio of innovative solutions to tackle AI compute from edge devices to data centers.
