Kyma Technologies Inc of Raleigh, NC, USA, which provides crystalline gallium nitride (GaN) and aluminum nitride (AlN) semiconductor materials, says that its chief technology officer Dr Edward Preble has been selected as a ‘Triangle Mover and Shaker’.

Sponsored by Business Leader Media (which publishes Triangle Business Leader Magazine), The Mover & Shaker Awards honor up-and-coming business leaders in the Raleigh–Durham Research Triangle Park community. Nominees must be either rising leaders within companies with more than 100 employees or C-level executives leading rising companies with fewer than 100 employees.

Preble was amongst area winners at Business Leader Media's seventh annual Mover & Shaker award ceremony in Raleigh today. Winners will be featured in the October issue of Business Leader magazine.

Preble joined Kyma in 2003 after completing his PhD and post-doctoral studies at North Carolina State University (NCSU) in Materials Science and Engineering under the supervision of professor Bob Davis (who has a reputation for graduating successful Triangle area executives).  Starting as a senior research engineer, Preble was promoted to VP of engineering in 2005 and to chief operating officer in 2007.  In 2009 he was voted onto the Kyma's board of directors. His role recently changed to CTO, a transition designed to provide additional support to Kyma’s product development and commercialization activities across an increasingly diverse technology space and product line.

“Kyma has grown considerably over the past few years in terms of market presence and overall growth prospects,” says president & CEO Dr Keith Evans. “Ed has contributed and continues to contribute at the highest level,” he adds.
