About Sam Geha and Infineon Technologies:
As an accomplished executive in the semiconductor industry, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the organizations I work with.
My name is Sam Geha, and in my current role as EVP of IoT, Compute & Wireless business at Infineon Technologies, my goal is to understand the needs of our partners and deliver industry-leading Microcontroller and Connectivity solutions for a better tomorrow.
Over the last few years with Infineon, I’ve been able to:
• Launch a variety of new products with superior capabilities for IoT, such as world’s best capacitive sensing solution on Microcontrollers and industry’s lowest power integrated Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo chip
• Drive innovation by building advanced embedded AI solutions, highest security standards and a flexible, easy-to-use software ecosystem
• Develop partnerships with key players in the industry to create new business opportunities and expand the company’s customer base
• Manage supply chain challenges in difficult allocation times but also helping to shape cost-effective and efficient operations
During my time at Cypress, I was able to:
• Develop the SONOS based S8 & S40 process technologies and lead the initial PSoC design and product development
• Create differentiated NOR Flash products with focus on the automotive industry
• Design SRAM and MRAM technologies and products
• Negotiate and manage licensing agreements that generate revenue from existing IP assets and create new revenue streams
• Support the formation of several start-ups and JV’s: Deca Technologies (Infineon/ASE/Qualcomm subsidiary), Enovix (IPO in 2020) and SkyHigh (Joint Venture with SK Hynix)
My core strengths include:
• Chip development, design and qualification
• Connecting with customers and other partners to develop real innovations
• Developing leaders to create winning teams
• Creating a culture for diverse and high-performing teams that achieves strategic objectives
As part of a team of 1500+ experienced R&D engineers, we can work together to build an intelligent, connected world with Infineon‘s Microcontroller and Wireless solutions to help you realize your goals.

Infineon’s IoT Innovations & Developments
Auto-heating buildings and intelligent coffee makers are fantasies of the past. Infineon is spearheading the Internet of Things (IoT) push to bring these ideas to life, and in big ways. Thanks to our 250-person application team and world-leading expertise, our engineers are continuously working on IoT innovations in the automotive, industrial, smart home, gaming, and health industries, to meet the needs of customers in the most convenient ways possible.
To show you just how much Infineon is doing in this space, we’ve asked the Executive VP of IoT Compute & Wireless (ICW) to discuss some of the problems we’re addressing with IoT.

What is the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things is already changing lives in countless ways, from refrigerators that can re-up on groceries to cars that compromise on parking spots. At Infineon, we work on exciting projects that span five core industries: Automotive, Industrial, Smart Home, Gaming, and Health and Wellness, according to Sam:
Sam Geha, Executive VP of ICW (IoT Compute & Wireless): “Health and fitness is the hottest area for Infineon’s IoT development, including wearable devices such as smart watches and glasses that continuously collect health data. Smart homes are a core industry as well–thermostats that keep the home at an ambient temperature, smart coffee machines with verbal commands, and other home-based applications.
Smart Buildings, AI, & IoT
IoT is set to launch intelligent buildings and advanced AI. Knowing this, Infineon’s global application team is deeply involved in the design and production of both smart buildings and AI programs. According to Sam, these advancements can lead to cutting-edge solutions such as auto-heating office buildings, and even WiFi-enabled facial recognition:
Sam Geha: “For smart homes and buildings, Infineon is working on thermostats that can gauge temperature and automatically turn on A/C units or heaters when appropriate–and for bigger buildings, automated heating or cooling to prepare for employees before they arrive in the morning is in the works. On the AI side, we’re seeing facial and image recognition that can integrate with WiFi. These are all within our wheelhouse at Infineon.”
