I’m not telling anyone anything new as we all know Brainchip have a licence with Nasa. I would suggest that might be where our first Renesas product might be as well.
I was looking at a recent Renesas post on Linkin. It’s pretty impressive.
I haven’t pasted it all across but it shows how strong Renesas is in
the supplier silicon for space. I would strongly suggest that is why the Nasa and Renesas announcements came at the same time.
Then I looked at who Intersil are as they obvioiusly have a good partnership. The LTH would probably know this but guess who came across from Intersil to work for Brainchip? Non other than:
Louis DiNardo
Executive Chairman, President and CEO
Louis DiNardo has a strong track record of growing publicly listed and privately owned technology businesses, and has worked in venture capital firms where he has successfully backed a number of emerging technology companies. His recent roles include the President and CEO of Exar Corporation, where he was credited for turning around the underperforming NYSE-listed mid-cap semiconductor company by revamping the management team, cutting operating expenses and growing revenue and profit.
Before Exar, Louis was responsible for investing in and overseeing a portfolio of companies, including programmable logic companies, while he served as a partner at Crosslink Capital from 2008 to 2012 and the Managing Director at Vantage Point Venture Partners from 2007 to 2008.
He also served as President and CEO, as well as Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, at Xicor Corporation from January of 2001, until NASDAQ-listed Intersil Corp acquired the company in July of 2004.
He subsequently held senior executive positions at Intersil and became its President and Chief Operating Officer. He has previously served as an independent director on several boards, including NYSE-listed Quantum Corp., a data management company; and Conexant, a privately held fabless semiconductor company based in California, USA.
