Ramesh Gopalakrishnan, Ph.D. joins DG Matrix as Chief Operating Officer
Dr. Gopalakrishnan brings more than 25 years of global executive leadership experience spanning industrial manufacturing, energy, oil and gas, and renewable energy. Throughout his career, he has led complex businesses through periods of rapid growth, transformation, and restructuring, building scalable global operations, optimizing supply chains, and driving business performance.
Most recently, Dr. Gopalakrishnan served as COO of Tsubaki Nakashima, a $500 million global precision manufacturing company with over 20 plants across 12 countries. He led a comprehensive operational transformation focused on productivity, cost reduction, working capital improvement, and manufacturing footprint optimization.
Previously, he served as President and Chief Operating Officer of TPI Composites, a $1.8 billion global manufacturer serving the renewable energy industry, with more than 16,000 employees across 10 countries. During his tenure, TPI grew from approximately $750 million to $1.8 billion in annual revenue through organic expansion and acquisitions.
Prior to that, he held leadership roles as Executive Vice President of Global Manufacturing at Senvion in Hamburg, Germany and Chief Operating Officer of Suzlon Energy Composites in Pune, India, where he drove operational transformations that supported significant growth and improved profitability.
Earlier in his career, Dr. Gopalakrishnan held senior leadership positions at Halliburton, General Electric, and Siemens. His experience includes global P&L leadership, strategy, technology development and industrialization, manufacturing and supply chain transformation, and quality and reliability.
“Ramesh brings exactly the industrial leadership DG Matrix needs as we transition from breakthrough technology to global manufacturing scale,” said Haroon Inam, CEO and Co-Founder of DG Matrix. “He has spent his career scaling complex industrial businesses, building global supply chains, and transforming operations across multiple continents. His ability to combine hands-on operational execution with long-term strategic thinking will be instrumental as we build the industrial capabilities needed to deliver Interport reliably at global scale.”
DG Matrix’s Interport™ platform integrates power conversion and distribution capabilities traditionally delivered by multiple pieces of electrical equipment into a modular, software-controlled solution. Scaling production while maintaining product quality and reliability will be essential as commercial deployments expand.
“DG Matrix has developed transformative technology at a time when access to power is increasingly a constraint on growth,” said Dr. Gopalakrishnan. “The next challenge is to translate that innovation into a scalable and reliable global industrial operation. I’m excited to work with the team to build the capabilities and deliver the operational performance needed to drive the company’s next phase of growth.”
Dr. Gopalakrishnan also served on the Board of Directors of Benchmark Electronics, a publicly traded global electronics manufacturing services company. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay and master’s and doctoral degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Stony Brook University.
About DG Matrix
DG Matrix, the global leader in solid-state transformer solutions, is unlocking power as the binding constraint on AI. It is removing this critical bottleneck of stranded power by building the intelligent power fabric of the AI data center. Built on the world’s first commercially available, programmable multi-port solid-state transformer, the company’s AI-enabled Interport™ platform converts, routes and controls every electron, between the grid, on-site generation, storage and compute loads through a single, software-defined stage. DG Matrix delivers an integrated and simpler solution for faster deployment, lower energy costs, native 800 VDC readiness and protection from GPU pulse loads. Because speed to power is speed to inference, DG Matrix helps hyperscale, neocloud and colocation operators bring AI capacity online in months instead of years — at scale, anywhere in the world.
