With an impressive first career—ranging from power generation, transmission and distribution; designing critical components of the world's first CD players; and launching the successful semi-conductor startup Silicon Laboratories—followed by a brief retirement offering him time to enjoy his muscle cars and motorcycles, Mr. Gay is now vice president of Worldwide Sales for Nuventix Corporation. Travelling the world, he is helping to enable energy-efficient high brightness LED lighting within the general lighting market. "With a car collection that averages eight miles to the gallon, I thought that I better do something 'green' to help our planet Earth, so I joined Nuventix Corporation to save the world. Now I have something cool to talk about at cocktail parties."
