I’m just hopeful that we use all of this fantastic opportunity that we have in technology to solve the problems that we should actually solve.
About Ron
- I grew up in Waterloo, Iowa.
- I come from a family of engineers—my father, older sister, and younger sister all studied engineering.
- I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering from MIT and Cornell University respectively.
- After grad school, I moved to the Bay Area of California and started my career as an IC product engineer in the semiconductor industry.
- After three years, I joined a startup company that was working with innovative technology—after mergers and acquisitions, that startup eventually became part of my current company, Synopsys.
- I continued to build my career in the semiconductor industry and gain more experience in applications engineering and fabrication.
- In 2002, I joined Synopsys and have been here ever since—I’m currently leading a team as the senior manager of corporate applications engineering.
