These leadership changes mark a significant step in Terawave’s growth and commitment to expanding the applications of its groundbreaking technology.

Leadership for the Future of Connectivity

Lupin, who previously served as Terawave’s Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), brings extensive industry expertise to his new role as CEO. With a distinguished career spanning the wireless and semiconductor industries, he has held key positions as Chief Legal Officer at Globalfoundries and Executive Vice President, General Counsel of Qualcomm after having been a partner at the Cooley LLP law firm. His deep expertise in the wireless and semiconductor industries, combined with his decades as a patent litigator and licensing executive, uniquely position him to lead Terawave into its next phase of growth and innovation.

“Lou’s strategic vision and leadership have been instrumental in shaping Terawave’s success,” said Gary Ervin, Chairman of the Board. “We are confident that under his guidance, the company will strengthen its market position and drive transformative advancements in connectivity.”
“I am honored and thrilled to step into the role of CEO and grateful for the confidence placed in me by the Board and outgoing CEO Alvie Smith,” remarked Lupin. “Terawave has remarkable technology and a special team. We will not rest until we have redefined global connectivity and delivered exceptional value to our investors, employees and partners.”

As part of this transition, Alvie Smith will step down as CEO. He will remain on Terawave’s Board of Directors and will continue playing an active role in the company, working closely with Lupin to drive forward Terawave’s mission and intellectual property strategy.

“We deeply appreciate Alvie’s dedication and leadership,” Ervin added. “His ongoing contributions will be invaluable as Terawave enters this next phase of innovation and growth.”
