Gleb Yushin, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Sila Nanotechnologies
Gleb has long been sought out for his background in materials sciences and physics background. Now, he's taken his expertise to clean energy and industries as diverse as connected devices and electric vehicles. We explore how Sila Nanotechnologies was born and how Gleb transitioned from his life in academia as a professor at Georgia Tech to the founder and CTO of a startup designing integral components for Mercedes-Benz and its iconic G-Class SUV or "G Wagon."
Gleb gives us a walkthrough of the hardware industry and how he navigates the pace of product and technological innovation. We also dig into how the culture at a hardware startup differs from one focused on software. Gleb also shares insight into how Elon Musk and other tech pioneers think about complex problems, such as climate change or working with government agencies like NASA. Finally, we get tactical advice about how technologists and senior professionals can advance their careers by finding impactful professional opportunities.
