Reiss, a trailblazing industry leader with over 25 years of global sales, marketing, and business development experience, previously led growth initiatives at DZS Inc., A10 Networks, Ericsson, and DAMOVO, and served on the Skorpios board. His return marks a strategic move to capitalize on his deep expertise in scaling high-growth markets, forming strategic industry partnerships, and driving bold brand innovation. The timing is pivotal as Skorpios expands its game-changing heterogenous integrated silicon photonics solutions and foundry services.
“Skorpios is revolutionizing integrated photonics at a time when the world is investing hundreds of billions into AI infrastructure, cloud, and next-gen networking,” said Gunter Reiss, Chief Revenue Officer. “Skorpios’ 1.6 Tbps and 3.2 Tbps transceivers enable high-speed interconnects for AI training clusters, where GPU-to-GPU communication demands more than 10 Tbps bandwidth. Heterogeneous integration reduces latency by embedding lasers and modulators directly into silicon, cutting power and cooling cost in data centers by more than 30%. With a full-stack foundry in Temecula providing customized test-wafer services and high-volume manufacturing for hyperscalers, semiconductor companies, and networking vendors we develop and scale photonic-driven solutions with unprecedented speed and efficiency. We are building the next era of photonics-driven AI infrastructure. I could not be more stoked to join Skorpios Technologies and work alongside industry visionary Stephen Krasulick, the talented leadership team, and the luminary board of directors.”
Stephen Krasulick, Chairman & CEO of Skorpios Technologies, added: “Gunter brings the rare combination of strategic vision, deep industry expertise, and a track record of executing global growth strategies in data center networking, AI and broadband networks. His leadership will be instrumental in expanding Skorpios’ presence across AI data centers, hyperscalers, quantum computing, semiconductors, and next-generation optical networks. His passion for scaling disruptive technologies aligns with our mission to deliver the most cost-effective, high-performance silicon photonics solutions in the market.”
