“Superconductors are one of the breakthroughs that must go mainstream to unlock new possibilities such as fusion reactors, lossless transmission, and a new era in power delivery. MetOx has a fantastic team and is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation with its demonstrated technologies.”
Keyvan Esfarjani
Keyvan Esfarjani brings more than three decades of global leadership across advanced manufacturing, operations, and technology at scale. As former Executive Vice President and Chief Global Operations Officer at Intel, he led one of the world’s most complex semiconductor manufacturing networks, driving operational excellence, supply chain resilience, and large-scale capacity expansion.
At MetOx, Keyvan provides strategic and technical guidance as the company advances high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wire from innovation to industrial-scale production.
His focus is on aligning manufacturing readiness, engineering rigor, and long-term operational strategy to support reliable deployment across next-generation energy, compute, and industrial systems.
Executive Chairman of the Board
“Keyvan’s experience in scaling high-precision technologies and building globally integrated operations strengthens MetOx’s ability to execute with discipline, speed, and technical depth.”
Technical Advisory Group (TAG)
Faster execution. Smarter scale. Superconducting leadership that endures.
Founded in 2025, MetOx’s Technical Advisory Group comprises globally recognized experts in superconductivity, materials science, and applied physics, providing independent rigor and long-term technical guidance.
Chaired by Keyvan Esfarjani, the TAG supports MetOx’s scale-up by pressure-testing engineering decisions against manufacturing realities and next-generation market demands.
The MetOx TAG accelerates execution, de-risks scale, and ensures our superconducting solutions are built to lead—now and for the long term.
