IP Is EDA-November 7, 2014 |
Earlier this month I had the distinct pleasure of attending the EDA Consortium’s (EDAC) prestigious Phil Kaufman award dinner. This year’s winner is Lucio Lanza, managing director of Lanza techVentures LLC. Lucio is an EDA industry legend that I’ve personally known for many years. We used bumped into each other often in the Cadence hallways after both of our companies had been acquired by Cadence around 1989. But, I truly appreciated Lucio’s leadership style with the Artisan board of directors when I was vice president of corporate ventures there. Lucio’s strategic insights and steady pressure to keep us focused on the critical items were a major factor in Artisan’s success.
