experience to ECM’s rapidly growing software business.
US Electric motor design and software company ECM PCB Stator
Tech recently named Mandy Carozza as EVP for Legal, Human
Resources, and Government Affairs and Dr. Eric Ponce as Director of
Research and Development.
In her role, Mandy will serve as ECM’s in-house counsel on all
legal matters. She will also manage human resources development
(for ECM’s fast-growing team) and act as the company’s public
affairs liaison with government entities.
Mandy brings more than 15 years of valuable experience as both
in-house corporate counsel and as a private practice lawyer. Prior
to joining ECM, Mandy served as Vice President and General Counsel
at global footwear brands Rockport and REEF. Prior to that, she was
counsel at Mintz Levin in Boston, Massachusetts, where she advised
and represented public and private companies on a wide variety of
legal issues. Mandy holds a Juris Doctor from New England School of
Law and a Bachelor of Arts degree from The University of Tampa.
Eric Ponce joins ECM after earning his Ph.D. in Philosophy and
Electrical Engineering and Electronics Engineering from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Prior to that Ponce
earned his Master of Engineering and Computer Science and B.S. in
Electrical Science and Engineering degrees from MIT.
While at MIT, Dr. Ponce worked on various projects ranging from
high-power EV systems to novel ultra-low-power sensing systems for
IoT applications. His experience also includes work in consumer,
industrial, and agricultural sectors.
"ECM is thrilled to welcome Mandy and Eric on board. They both
bring invaluable experience that will add tremendous value on our
journey to becoming a global electric motor design and software
leader,” said ECM CEO Brian Casey.
As a company, ECM pairs patented PCB Stator innovation to
PrintStator Motor CAD to create next generation electric machines
that are smaller, quieter, and more energy and space efficient
across a broad range of use cases. Those include Consumer
Electronics, HVAC, E-Mobility, Medical, Robotics, Aerospace, and
more.
ECM’s PCB Stators replace the bulky copper windings in
traditional motors with an ultra-thin disc. PCB Stator motors
designed via PrintStator are up to 70% lighter than conventional
options—while achieving efficiencies in the mid-90s and requiring
just 20% of the raw materials.
ECM has earned 14 award distinctions for its Motor CAD platform
and electric motor solutions, including winning the 2024 Automation
Innovation Awards for Software. The company launched PrintStator as
a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product in January 2024 at CES.
Mrs. Carozza and Dr. Ponce’s collective experience will support
ECM’s rapid growth that has seen the firm evolve from a startup
entity to a SaaS enterprise serving 21st century electric motor
design needs.
“I am ecstatic to join ECM and look forward to working alongside
the entire team during this exciting growth stage. It is truly
exciting to join this amazing group to achieve our goals advancing
disruptive electric motor technology,” said Mandy Carozza, ECM’s
new EVP of Legal, HR, and Government Affairs.
“ECM is developing high-impact and exciting technologies
applicable to a wide range of industries. The tight-knit team
rapidly innovates, solves our customers’ toughest problems, and
creates an excellent working atmosphere. I am so happy to join this
world-class company and contribute to the ground-breaking
technological innovation taking place at ECM,” said Eric Ponce,
ECM’s new Research and Development Director.
