摘要
How does one build a Fortune 500 pillar of the semiconductor industry from the ground up? In this episode, Jodi Shelton sits down with Aart de Geus, Founder and Executive Chair of Synopsys.
Aart has spent decades at the intersection of silicon and software, leading the company that provides the very tools used to design the complex chips. We dive into the grit required to scale a global tech giant, the evolution of Electronic Design Automation (EDA), and why Aart believes the future of innovation is as much about humanity as it is about hardware. Plus, we explore a different side of the tech icon: his life as a blues musician and how the rhythm of the stage influences the boardroom.
