“Working for KULR is an excellent opportunity for me to use all my past experience in leading projects and people,” Martinez said in a statement. “I'll be working with the local teams and outside resources to deliver KULR a world-class manufacturing operation capable of large scale production. A big blessing for me is that I'll be working in my home town of San Diego.”
As a member of the operations team, the company said Martinez will report directly to KULR president and COO, Keith Cochran.
KULR Technology develops, manufactures and licenses next-generation carbon fiber thermal management technologies for batteries and electronic systems. Leveraging the company's roots in developing breakthrough cooling solutions for NASA space missions and backed by a strong intellectual property portfolio, KULR enables leading aerospace, electronics, energy storage, 5G infrastructure, and electric vehicle manufacturers to make their products cooler, lighter and safer for the consumer.
Last week the company announced that it is expanding its manufacturing presence to a new, larger facility in San Diego to accommodate continued business growth.
