About Bruce Renouard

People who know me know about my sincere thirst for knowledge and my zest for life. These two characteristics keep me mentally sharp, physically strong and high-output. I’ve helped $300M to $1B+ companies achieve double -and triple-digit growth. I have a reputation of being a change agent, with down-to-earth humor and an a deep well of energy. I focus on identifying the changes required in organizations and business models prior to implementing solutions. To-date these include changes to strategies, systems, processes, culture, and people. I’ve built cohesive operations across 35 countries and created cultures of “selling value” that still differentiates the companies I was fortunate enough to lead. All of these accomplishments required global team work of teams up to 350 strong, and have left me with a profound sense of gratitude toward so many inspired teammates. I recently focused my attention on the most exciting challenge of my life. People with an understanding of power semiconductors are calling what Pre-Switch technology delivers the “holy grail” of power electronics. Our Silicon Valley company solved a problem most innovators gave up trying to solve. By virtually eliminating transistor switching losses, reducing EMI and dV/dt, Pre-Switch is delivering a step function in improved efficiency, or cost reduction, never achieved in the past. As a team, we envision a world in which everything using fossil fuel today will be electrically driven and controlled. A world in which power converters are a fraction of today’s cost, size and weight. A world in which motor drives, enhanced with our technology, save massive amounts of power wasted today in industrial applications. We also see our technology shrinking electric motors, adding EV range and making energy independent solar-powered homes inevitable. In short, we are changing the world for the better. We are Pre-Switch. We take the hard out of switching.
