Kieran Harney is the CEO of sensiBel, an Oslo-based semiconductor company that builds the world's first studio-quality optical MEMS microphone. A three-decade veteran of the MEMS industry, he founded the MEMS microphone business at Analog Devices in 2005, which was acquired by InvenSense in 2013 and later became part of TDK. He joined sensiBel in 2022, rose from COO to Chief Commercial Officer, and took over as CEO in September 2025 with a mandate to scale the company's optical microphone technology from evaluation kits to mass-market production.
TDK InvenSense designs the tiny MEMS sensors that let machines feel the physical world - motion, sound, pressure and ultrasound. Founded in San Jose in 2003 and acquired by Japan's TDK Corporation in 2017, it pioneered the integrated 6-axis IMU and ships motion, microphone and ultrasonic sensors into smartphones, wearables, drones, cars, robots and industrial systems. Its work pairs CMOS-MEMS hardware with proprietary fusion firmware and increasingly edge AI, turning raw physics into usable signals for billions of devices.
Joseph Bousaba is the CEO of InvenSense and General Manager of TDK Corporation's MEMS Sensors Business Group, leading a global powerhouse in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensing solutions. With over 18 years of senior leadership in the semiconductor industry - spanning Philips Semiconductors, Qualcomm Atheros, and Qualcomm - he stepped into the top role at InvenSense in October 2024, bringing a track record of building multi-hundred-million-dollar businesses at the intersection of motion, sound, and AI-driven sensing.
