Doug Grose has worked for semiconductor giants like IBM, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, AMD and was the former CEO of GlobalFoundries. Now he's been courted to work for BessTech, an Albany, New York, startup with a giant goal — to make batteries that charge faster and last longer.

Grose will leverage his semiconductor expertise and network as chief technology officer of BessTech to introduce the battery company to new techniques used in the semiconductor industry.

"I do still have a lot of connections and network within semiconductors in all aspects of both the people who design semiconductors the people who develop the equipment and even in the material space and some in the manufacturing side," Grose said in a conference call in between meetings at SEMICON West, which is being held this week in San Francisco. "Those connections I'll leverage as part of the strategic roadmap as we build business out."

BessTech, co-founded by Fernando Gómez-Baquero, develops ultra-thin lithium-ion batteries for use in consumer electronics like wearables, electric vehicles and other applications. It was the first spin-off company to come out of SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany.

Gómez-Baquero and his team are working to commercialize technology that will make lithium-ion batteries operate more efficiently. Grose's connections with the semiconductor industry, especially with semiconductor suppliers and equipment manufacturers, will help bring BessTech's batteries to commercialization.
