Absolutely ... He is that type of guy that even though you have never met him before when he walks into the meeting room you feel like you know and trust him already!Yes he does but now that I have had time to digest this move to VP of Ecosystems and Partnerships logically it has to be considered an elevation of his status given that the CEO and Chairman at the AGM devoted so much time and importance to the proposition that it was critical to Brainchip’s success that they establish ecosystems and partnerships.
The establishment of relationships with Ecosystems partners like ARM SiFive and Prophesee is entirely different to selling IP to customers like Renesas and MegaChips.
Rob Telson has that trusted best friend persona that makes him in my opinion perfect for the role particularly with his background at ARM.
My opinion only DYOR

And, IMO, headhunting a top sales person from one of our major "competitors" is a genius move. It speaks volumes to the market.......Yes he does but now that I have had time to digest this move to VP of Ecosystems and Partnerships logically it has to be considered an elevation of his status given that the CEO and Chairman at the AGM devoted so much time and importance to the proposition that it was critical to Brainchip’s success that they establish ecosystems and partnerships.

A lot of the connections that are made here if not more have been also found and confirmed by the 1,000 Eyes.This is a fantastic move! I have no doubt that Rob Telson will accelorate BrainChip's ecosystem efforts across all verticals and stakeholders. There is a HUGE web of collaborations and partnerships driving innovation right now. I have a feeling Rob will be extremely busy.
This might provide a bit of an indication of what he'll be dealing with.
The Partnerships Shaping The Future Of Autonomous Driving
November 24, 2021
Autonomous driving development has been a significant challenge for major players in the mobility space.
Building and training driverless vehicles requires significant up-front investment, and the technology has yet to yield a profit.
In response, automakers are increasingly looking at partnership opportunities to pool resources and minimize the financial burden associated with autonomous vehicle (AV) development.
40+ Corporations Working On Autonomous Vehicles
Using CB Insights data, we identified over 40 companies developing road-going self-driving vehicles. Download our report to read all about them.
In addition to partnering with each other, automakers are teaming up with Tier 1 suppliers and full-stack AV developers. AV developers are especially eager to work with auto incumbents, as automakers and suppliers have the manufacturing expertise and capabilities to scale that can help these companies commercialize their technology.
We used CB Insights’ Business Relationship data to illustrate the dynamic web of partnerships underlying the autonomous vehicle ecosystem.

For the purposes of this visualization, we focus on partnerships, investments, M&A, and joint ventures across automakers, Tier 1 suppliers, full-stack autonomous driving developers (e.g., Cruise, Waymo), big tech, and mobility service providers (e.g., Lyft).
We exclude companies working on specific components of autonomous driving such as perception, mapping, and simulation. We also exclude partnerships for Baidu from the graphic given its vast number of partnerships, which are discussed later in this brief.

Startups building a next-generation mobility ecosystem, using technology to improve connectivity, safety, convenience, and efficiency in vehicles. Includes technologies such as ADAS and autonomous driving, connected vehicles, fleet telematics, V2V/V2X, and vehicle cybersecurity.
PARTNERSHIP TRENDS
Tier 1 suppliers partner with AV companies to stay competitive
Legacy Tier 1 suppliers are rapidly partnering with new autonomous driving companies to provide solutions for the future of autonomous vehicles.
While automakers are largely partnering with full-stack AV developers, Tier 1s have teamed up with full-stack AV developers and companies building the hardware and software components of autonomous driving systems. Because Tier 1s have experience in serving automotive OEMs and mass production, these relationships are mutually beneficial.

For example, Germany-based Tier 1 supplier ZF partnered with Intel’s Mobileye in 2021 to provide advanced safety systems for new Toyota vehicles using ZF’s camera and radar and Mobileye’s EyeQ4 chip. The company has also partnered with Ibeo and Aeva for lidar solutions, as well as TuSimple and Locomation for autonomous trucking solutions. ZF has invested in and partnered with autonomous driving software company Oxbotica to develop Level 4 self-driving shuttles.
Many automotive suppliers are taking a similar approach. Earlier this year, France-based auto parts supplier Valeo announced that it was strengthening its partnership with Navya to release Level 4 autonomous driving systems. Meanwhile, Continental teamed up with lidar startup AEye to integrate its lidar into Continental’s full-stack sensor solution.
Other Tier 1s are working directly with OEMs to create autonomous driving tech. In 2020, for example, Hyundai and Aptiv created the joint venture Motional to develop Level 4 self-driving passenger vehicles. More recently, the company unveiled its robotaxi built on Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 EV, which it plans to launch in multiple US markets in 2023.

It also most likely ... "unofficially official that" ...the next 4C revenue figures will be significant and speak for themselves ...!!Well I just received advice so it is unofficially official Rob Telson loves his new role as he was performing both his new role and the sales role together and was being stretched in every direction but found himself gravitating to the ecosystem partnership side.
It is unofficially official that it was Rob Telson who brought ARM, Edge Impulse and others into partnership with Brainchip.
It is unofficially official that the Brainchip Bus is being managed by a very happy crew who feel that every strategic box is now ticked.

Smiling all the way to the bankHe always has that infectious smile on his face ... Great guy![]()
He mouth seems to be smiling. But his eyes have a certain "oh shit" quality. Almost as if he knows how big a job he had ahead of him

Forgive me for the crude analogy
But there is a yo momma joke
"Yo momma so fat you have to roll her in flour to find the wet spot"
You are essentially rolling all these companies in flour looking for the wet spot to stick Akida
I dont have a problem with the rolling, the flour or the wet spot. You seem pretty good at isolating where Akida will fit in a system. It's just your definitive language that "Akida is probably in this" when there is more chances it isn't in that system.
U-bby, you better back up the flour truck 'cause it looks like momma just found another wet spot!
Remember when you shot me down in a blaze of glory for suggesting we could have some sort of link with Baidu? Well, anyways, it just so happens that back in 2018 Valeo entered into strategic cooperation with Apollo, the open autonomous driving platform created by Baidu.
I just gave Apollo Enterprise's website a quick perusal and look what I found nestled in there.
