Did someone say KFC
Didn't someone post something about Jerome going part time, a week or so ago?
Announcing the hiring of a Chief Marketing Officer is not a fluff announcement ... especially one with Nandan's credentials. It's 'effing keeping investors informed! Something BRN just doesn't seem to get.

I have as most know voiced my objections to the ultra conservative approach taken by the company to making announcements via the ASX.
So while it’s entirely a decision for each shareholder to make the best way to voice concerns in my opinion is to send them to the company as I have tried screaming into space but all it leads to is my wife telling me to come inside as the neighbours are watching.
One thing I would say is that the rapidity at which some can decide a decision by an experienced Board and management is incorrect reminds me of some lines from a black and white Western I watched as a child:
Judge: “String him up boys.”
Sheriff: “But what about a fair trial?”
Judge: “Your right. First we’ll give him a fair trial. Then we’ll string him up.”
My opinion only DYOR

After coming across Cambridge Consultants and Prophesee working together tin the cell therapy field , I looked up who Cambridge Consultants are and what they do. Has anyone else come across them before? They have their fingers in a lot of pies, including space , health , communication and defence. I’m really liking the look of them. The only strong link I have so far is the use of the Prophesee vision sensor.

I dont agree with you here.
In the absence of any news, the hire of a new CMO escpecially of such a high pedigree should be put out over the ASX as a non-sensitive announcement, just for the sake of giving some information to shareholders. It is a nothing to make that effort. Sometimes people need a sip of water to help get them through the dry dusty desert!

Not sure I entirely agree.
Yeah, revenue is expected and will be hugely beneficial if materialises.
However, communication and engagement with the market is also an expectation of a listed company.
It tells the story, provides the narrative, celebrates the wins / milestones and brings the mkt along the journey.

Agreed
FF, WBT's CEO Coby Hanoch treats his company's shareholders with utmost respect and keeps them fully informed ... and certainly key appointments are always announced as they should be. BRN seems to treat its shareholders as necessary nuisances to be kept in the dark. As a long time holder in both companies ... the contrast between the two is stark. Nandan's appointment should have been announced on the ASX ... period! There is simply no excuse for not doing so.

With respect @alwaysgreen
An appoinment of this calibre is not a "fluff announcement"
Its yet another strategic building block , a strengthening of the company, that the wider market should be aware of. !!!!!
Yes, i , like you are anticipating either a company making announcement or two going forward, or hopefully a considerable "up lump"
in the next 4c, ............ but i think that would be much nicer from a higher s/p base than we have now, and imo, announcements like this that
could have been, would elevate the base s/p from which we can then launch.
Sometimes unforseen circumstances arrive in peoples lives, which not by intent, make some investors have to sell down their shareholding to cover there unforseen bills/emergencies etc, ................ and at this price i think we could all agree that its not fair.
Great that so many on TSE continually put so much into "dot joining" ............... but a concrete appointment of this calibre should be known to the wider market when it happens.
Anywho, it is what it is, and as mentioned earlier, just pissed with the s/p stagnation.

Completely respect that.
However, holders are fortunate enough to have found the company whenever each individual did, became part of this community and have a pretty good handle on BRN.
We are also always looking for news, articles, info etc so see these things whereas the wider mkt may not be as they don't have the vested interest as yet.
Is why wider engagement is important imo.

LAGUNA HILLS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 20, 2022 / BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX:BRN)(OTCQX:BRCHF)(ADR:BCHPY), the world's first commercial producer of neuromorphic AI IP, has hired Nandan Nayampally as Chief Marketing Officer to drive all aspects of marketing, product management and business strategy for the company's AkidaTM event-based AI neural processor IP, and its portfolio of Essential AI enabling technology solutions.
Nayampally is an entrepreneurial executive with more than 25 years of success in building or growing technology businesses with industry-wide impact. He was at Arm for more than 15 years in a variety of product marketing and product management leadership roles, eventually becoming vice president and general manager of Arm's signature CPU group and the Client Line of Business, , where he identified key technology investments, developed a strategy and roadmap of products to deliver compelling, market-leading solutions for billions of SoCs, while establishing strategic partnerships and alliances. Nayampally comes to BrainChip from Amazon, where he helped accelerate the adoption of Alexa Voice and other multimodal services into third-party devices.
"I am excited to join BrainChip. Our unique approach to performant and efficient edge AI at scale is a great enabler for an industry that is looking for innovative and transformative solutions" said Nayampally. "It is a great opportunity to not only advance product intelligence at the sensor and the edge but unleash the full power of AI. BrainChip is positioned to create that positive change and I'm thrilled to be a part of making that happen."
"Nandan has a deep technical understanding of semiconductor design and IP as well as the market factors that lead to product success," said Sean Hehir, CEO. "We look forward to leveraging his product experience and executive success at companies like Arm and Amazon to help us deliver BrainChip solutions to the market."
Hmmm.
This is interesting for sure for a few reasons. For one, it may or may not mean that the new guy, I'll call him NN for short (any connection to Neural Networks is purely a coincidence) may or may not be a wonderful addition. Time will tell.
But does anyone wonder about the recent formerly great addition of Jerome Nadal only 9 months ago +/- that resulted in some web site changes and an approximately 60% decrease in a stock price and little or no ASX announced IP deals, and an admittedly catastrophically pathetic 3rd quarter revenue, albeit with a forecasted lumpy revenue stream for the time being (...so we were all told to expect it could be lumpy). Announced partnerships yes, but revenue??? Not so good on the revenue front lately. Was that an issue for Brainchip? Who knows?
Maybe Mr. Nadel accomplished what Sean and Co. expected of him in a record breaking 9 +/- months time and was comfortable riding his 10 speed into the sunset at this time. But as an investor in Brainchip I am always supsicious of any executive hired for stated purpose(s) (marketing) and then replaced by new executive 9 +/- months later by new (marketing) executive. Why,....I wonder?
We investors need more info and I for one expect to get that info some day soon or I will be suspicious that there was a chink in the armor of what I perceive as an otherwise smoothly running startup that was cruising along nicely as one big happy family. Simply put, something is rotten in Denmark until I hear that Jerome moved on for innocuous and or personal reasons. He is not clerical, folks, he is a significant executive and 9 months on the job is not enough time to accomplish much. I am not sure if this is a good move for Brainchip, or not. I do know my eyebrows hit my receding hair line when I read the press release. Yes, I was surprised, to say the least.
But some on this forum have relationships with some at Brainchip and I hope that soon one or more of you can obtain some additonal "color" on this sudden(?) move to replace someone that Sean and Co. were "eager to hand the reins to " for corporate and product marketing,....just 9 months ago. *
* And a comment from our investor relations people to the affect of "there's nothing to see here" is not going to cut it for me......
P.S. I am hesitant to post because others are posting fast and furiously including our esteemed FF who may take me to task for questioning our otherwise brilliant and esteemed management team. Some updates (from FF for example) have already rendered my post recent reveals. Still, I am interested in getting more infor related to this move. I would love to see Sean's 2021 one year plan (hire Marketing exec for 9 months and then hire another person because ..... )
Thanks, .....dippY
My opinions and thoughts are just that,....opinions and speculative thoughts.

Yep, as stated by Luca when discussing the sharing Prophesee have engaged with through SONY.:
"Which is today in mass production and available in the market"
Royalties soon IMO 12:50min
this technology migration has been fundamental for us because we
managed to build the smallest event-based sensor which is today mass production and available in the market
so this is currently being together with sony deployed in several
applications covering industrial and iot

I agree with alwaysgreen. Doesn’t bother me that there’s no announcement about the new CMO because the only thing that affects is todays share price.
We can’t complain we aren’t being kept informed when we all know what happened.
We have a fantastic addition to the team who is likely to take us places they took ARM and Amazon. How can you be anything except excited!
Just hold on, when we’re as well known as the above mentioned companies, no one is going to remember they didn’t release an announcement when they appointed the CMO.
