Hemlata Bist — CEO

I believe leadership begins with purpose, finding one’s gift and putting it to work in service of others. I am a technology and transformation leader who integrates people leadership, innovation, and enterprise-scale R&D execution. With over more than 24 years in the Semiconductor Design and EDA ecosystem, I have built, scaled, and evolved multi-geography R&D organizations delivering products used by global customers and ecosystem partners. My career progression from a fresh out of college Engineer to Senior Director gives me an end-to-end vantage point of deep technical credibility paired with the ability to operate at organizational and system scale across time zones and cultures. Currently in Verification IPs, I lead R&D teams for multiple key, cutting-edge protocols. My role extends beyond delivery into portfolio prioritization, operating-model evolution, and strategic alignment. I work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to align technology roadmaps with business priorities, manage trade-offs under constraint, and position platforms for long-term relevance amid rapid industry shifts. I am known for building high-trust, high-performance teams that operate effectively in ambiguity and change. I invest deliberately in talent, developing future leaders, empowering technologists, and creating inclusive environments where innovation compounds. I bring to the table * Deep technical mastery across IP, SoC and System-level design * Enterprise-oriented business judgment, strengthened by an Executive MBA from UC Berkeley Haas * Proven innovation, with multiple U.S. patents and technical paper presentation in industry conferences * Hands-on global leadership, across multi-region teams, customers, and ecosystem * Sustained commitment to mentorship and inclusion, within organizations and beyond As a lifelong learner, I continuously adapt myself and the organizations I serve to stay ahead of technology, market, and organizational inflection points. I partner with executive teams and senior stakeholders to shape strategy, scale innovation, and steward complex technology organizations through growth, change, and global complexity.
