Dear Roger,
"I wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for all your kindness and generosity around Sensors Converge and beyond. I truly appreciate you getting me a VIP pass to attend your panel, which was both insightful and inspiring, and for introducing me to so many amazing people—including Gene Burk—who were so welcoming and open to sharing their experiences in MEMS.

I had the chance to speak with several of your fellow panelists and had some of the best conversations of the conference, leaving me energized about the MEMS field and the community you’ve helped foster.

Thanks in part to your encouragement, I’ve just sent out a slew of follow-up emails to begin my Summer 2026 internship journey—wish me luck! I’m excited to see where this next chapter will take me.

Thank you again for your mentorship, your introductions, and your belief in young engineers like me. I’m incredibly grateful, and I look forward to staying in touch."

Warmest regards,
Jessica Taddeo
Northeastern University Senior Year Engineering Student

MEMS System Timing Products

"Roger successfully collaborated with our SiTime team and basically took hold of our technology, our company, and our story, promoting it and selling it very effectively and with passion across a wide variety of influential editors and analysts. Roger approached his extensive network with energy and excitement. SiTime went from an unknown entity to a famous, upcoming, shining star in only 2 months. Wow."

"In conclusion, I have found that Roger’s strongest asset is his confidence and ability to help companies work through their sometimes limited vision and explore a wide degree of possibilities and options."

Bert Bruggeman, Ph.D., CEO
SVTC Technologies
MEMS Silicon Foundry

"The combination of the technology, market and customer perspectives you provided have been helpful in further evaluating and developing the MEMS business at SVTC. Specifically, we liked your approach to collecting primary market data by conducting interviews with key industry executives and insiders. The recommendations that followed clearly indicated you have a deep understanding of our capabilities, potential, and opportunities as a company in this area.

You provided our team with a solid assessment of target products and technologies that leverage current capabilities and identified areas where we should focus on investments from a human capital and capital equipment perspective."

Jaye T. Tyler, President and CEO Nissha Si-Cal Technologies
Printed Flexible Sensor Manufacturing

"I retained Roger Grace after hearing him speak on sensors in our industry (printed flexible electronics) and was quite impressed. We have very limited marketing resources, so an engagement with Roger made sense to extend our marketing bandwidth and expertise. Roger got right to work and quickly organized six press media meetings at a large medical show we participate that served as a basis for future article placements.

To expand our marketing efforts, Roger managed the development of a white paper that we offered to entice individuals to engage with our company. The white paper then allowed Roger to secure publication of co-authored feature tutorial articles that he wrote for key industry publications. Roger also provided significant coverage of our company in several of his contributed articles and presentations of printed sensors. Roger invited me to speak at one of his managed events where I met a fellow speaker that has developed into a business for our company."
