Scintil Photonics, a provider of advanced photonic integrated circuits, announced the appointment of Matt Crowley as chief executive officer and the establishment of a US subsidiary to support its expanding customer base in data centers, machine learning and AI earlier today.

Crowley joins Scintil following his recent role as senior director business development at Qualcomm, where he arrived after leading Vesper Technologies, a MEMS technology company, through its acquisition by Qualcomm. As chief technology officer, Scintil founder Sylvie Menezo will continue advancing the company’s innovative product portfolio and customer partnerships and also serve as managing director.

This evolution in strategic leadership and US presence come as Scintil’s LEAF Light product gains traction in AI computing applications, where it serves as a critical remote light source for GPU interconnects in AI data centers. This is the first light source of its kind able to provide a single chip solution with high power output, high efficiency, small form factor and tightly controlled channel spacing required for extremely high data rate DWDM (dense wavelength-division multiplexing) communications, also specified by the CW-WDM multisource agreement.

Created in 2018, Scintil and its team of thirty now comprises a US subsidiary, in addition to the two sites located in France (headquarters) and Canada. This new US footprint reinforces the company’s capabilities to address local needs as well as serve customers, globally.
