Navitas Semiconductor Corp of Torrance, CA, USA — which provides GaNFast gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors — has appointed Tonya Stevens as chief financial officer (CFO), effective 30 March.
With more than three decades of global finance and accounting experience in the semiconductor, technology and manufacturing sectors, Stevens will oversee financial strategy, investor relations, treasury and the global finance organization as well as lead the path to profitability.

She began her career at PricewaterhouseCoopers, focusing on audit, financial risk management and capital markets transactions for multi-national clients.
Stevens holds a B.S. in Accounting, magna cum laude, from the University of Oregon and is a Certified Public Accountant.
“What drew me to Navitas was not only the company’s pivotal role in transforming power management with essential technologies for high-power markets driven by the AI catalyst, but also the executive team’s profound commitment to innovation, scale, transformation and execution,” says Stevens. “My primary focus will be on reinforcing our financial foundation and discipline, instilling operational rigor and ensuring strategic alignment to enable the business to scale with velocity, ultimately delivering sustained long-term value to our customers and shareholders,” she adds.
“Tonya’s exceptional track record of financial leadership in the semiconductor industry — spanning executive roles at Lattice Semiconductor and Intel — brings the depth of expertise and strategic insight we need at this exciting stage of Navitas’ growth and transformation,” comments president & CEO Chris Allexandre. “Her proven ability to lead key strategic transformations that helped companies optimize its operations and foster investor confidence will be instrumental as we scale our operations to a larger, profitable company as part of Navitas 2.0,” he adds. “Tonya is an exceptional addition to our world-class team, a great leader that I look forward to partnering closely with to execute our vision of electrifying the world with more efficient and sustainable power solutions and deliver scale through growth in our high-power markets of AI data centers, grid and energy infrastructures, performance computing and industrial electrification.”
