Podcast appearances and mentions of Cadence Design Systems

What happens when a company tries to outsmart the system - and gets caught red-handed by the DOJ in a $140 million export control scheme tied to Chinese military supercomputers?In this episode, Michael dives into the DOJ's criminal enforcement action against Cadence Design Systems - a case that marks yet another major step in the DOJ's rapidly unfolding trade enforcement strategy. We're no longer in the FCPA era. This is a whole new ballgame, where national security and trade compliance have collided, and companies that haven't adjusted are already behind.You'll hear him discuss:Why Cadence's plea deal - not a DPA or NPA - is such a big dealHow the DOJ and BIS coordinated to secure over $140 million in criminal and civil penaltiesThe simple, sloppy scheme that involved fake names, hidden aliases, and blatant attempts to skirt export controlsWhy partial cooperation didn't earn Cadence a full credit reduction - and what they failed to doThe shocking compliance gap: only one export control officer handling global riskWhat this case signals about the DOJ's growing focus on national security and semiconductor enforcementWhy ethics, due diligence, and transaction monitoring are still your best defenseHow companies can avoid getting blindsided by embracing the new trade enforcement landscapeResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

Story of the Week (DR):Trump Demands Intel CEO's Resignation, Says He's ‘Highly CONFLICTED' AND Eric and Donald Trump Jr. to Own Millions of Shares in New U.S. Manufacturing SPAC MMESG Analyst Tom Cotton: Trump's attack, posted on Truth Social Thursday, came two days after GOP Sen. Tom Cotton flagged Tan's prior investments in Chinese companies and his previous leadership at Cadence Design Systems, which recently pleaded guilty to unlawfully selling its tech to a blacklisted military university in China.Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan (~$70M golden hello in March; max potential $400M) directly addressed employees on Thursday after Donald Trump demanded his resignation over national security concerns, saying he has the full support of the board.Tan set up a venture firm called Walden International based in San Francisco that pumped more than $5 billion into over 600 companies. More than 100 of those investments were made in China, including deals with once-obscure startups such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.—today China's largest chipmaker—where he served on the board for a decade and a half.Today, the executive is still chairman of Walden International. And he's the founding managing partner at Walden Catalyst Ventures, which focuses on investments in the U.S., Europe and Israel. He also serves in that role at another venture fund, Celesta Global Capital.Tan stepped out of the venture world and joined the chip industry full-time when he became interim head of San Jose, California-based Cadence Design Systems Inc. in 2008. The executive, who had previously served on the board, went on to take the permanent CEO job the next year. He stayed in the role until 2021, when he transitioned to executive chairman, and is widely credited with restoring the company's fortunes. In late July of this year, the Department of Justice announced a plea deal that cost Cadence more than $100 million in fines. Employees at Cadence's China unit allegedly hid the name of a customer—the National University of Defense Technology—from internal compliance in order to keep supplying it. That organization had been put on the Department of Commerce's blacklist in 2015. The Chinese university was one of a group of supercomputer operators there that had conducted simulations of nuclear explosions, the DOJ said.Shares of American Eagle surge 20% after Trump calls Sydney Sweeney campaign 'hottest ad out there' AND Epstein victims are a growing political threat to TrumpThe Fall 2025 campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," centers on a deliberate pun between "jeans" and "genes.""Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color...

From 2017 to 2022, the company received over 400,000 reports of sexual assault or misconduct in the United States, which averages to about one incident every eight minutes.The investigation, based on thousands of internal documents, found that while Uber studied the issue and even developed potential safety features like in-car cameras and a feature to match female drivers with female passengers, the company chose not to implement these safeguards because they were concerned about their bottom line and potential lawsuits.Tesla Grants Musk $29 Billion in Stock to Keep ‘Elon's Energies Focused' AND Elon Musk Accused of Stiffing Small Businesses for Millions of Dollars, Causing Some to File for Bankruptcy AND Elon Musk Shares Shockingly Sexist Tweet About Woman Being Property. This one's disgraceful, even for Musk AND "This Will Open the Floodgates": Tesla In Trouble as Jury Orders It to Pay $329 Million After Autopilot Death AND Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash AND Elon Musk Appears to Now Be the Most Hated Person in America, According to New ResearchGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Waste from Ben & Jerry's ice cream factories is now powering the Vermont gridNow that the ice cream waste can travel by pipe to become biogas, Ben & Jerry's can also make 600 fewer truck journeys a year, reducing the company's carbon emissions.DR: Gates Foundation is giving $2.5 billion to fund women's health research MM: Musk, Bezos, and Zuck are going full alpha male. America's girlbosses are fed up.When companies won't offer work-from-home policies or the flexibility that working parents need, it can embolden people to become more entrepreneurial and build under their own terms.This is the greatest backlash - if every woman in a “masculine default”, “founder mode” 13 year old man baby culture where “Jamie Dimon says” and John Stankey (see assholiest) says “maybe you don't fit” goes and founds there own firms, I'm giddy to see them wipe the floor with those smug billionaire assholes. Side note - I missed this quote from January FT article in the post-Zuck-on-Rogan “masculine energy” interview, but it would have been assholiest of the decade:“I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘retard' and ‘pussy' without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it's a new dawn.”MM: In that vein - A long-running anti-DEI lawsuit could help companies defend themselves from reverse-racism claims DR MMHello Alice as goodliest of the week - take down that fucknut Stephen Miller and his fake Nazi manboys.Assholiest of the Week (MM):Alex Karp and the men who go to elite universities and say elite universities are bullshit manbabiesPalantir CEO says working at his $430 billion software company is better than a degree from Harvard or Yale: ‘No one cares about the other stuff'Karp went to Haverford, then Stanford for a JD where he met Peter Thiel (who also doesn't like elite education)This past spring, the company also notably established the Meritocracy Fellowship, a four-month, paid internship for high school graduates who may be having second thoughts about higher education. Program admission is solely based on “merit and academic excellence,” but applicants still need Ivy League-level test scores to qualify. This includes at least a 1460 on the SAT or a 33 on the ACT, which are both above their respective 98th percentiles.According to Karp, the internship was created in direct response to the “shortcomings of university admissions.”Here's the problem: there ARE shortcomings to elite colleges, mostly that they exude exclusivism and a commodity - but it's still a pretty rich for a guy who WENT to Stanford where he met his future funder and mentor to talk about how bullshit it wasJohn Stankey and the re-rise of the Jack Welch man-directive manbabies MMIt is incredibly encouraging that 73% of our employees took the time to respond to the survey, with 79% of those respondents feeling committed and engaged with their work at AT&T. While this is reassuring, especially considering the amount of change we've navigated as a company recently, it wasn't a surprise to me that we fell short of our engagement goal.TRANSLATION: I'm not surprised so many of you think we suck, I've been here 5 years as CEO and I'm not awesome at my job… but hold your breath while I tell you how it's your faultThis note may also help you identify areas where your professional expectations might be misaligned with the strategic direction of this company.TRANSLATION: It's your faultI understand that some of you may have started your tour with this company expecting an "employment deal" rooted in loyalty, tenure, and conformance with the associated compensation, work structure, and benefits. We have consciously shifted away from some of these elements and towards a more market-based culture — focused on rewarding capability, contribution, and commitment.TRANSLATION: Fuck your job, this is a meritocracy now. A manly meritocracy.I understand that many may find the demands of your daily lives challenging and difficult. Elder care, job stress, child rearing challenges, economic uncertainty, community unrest, technology anxiety — the list can get long…We run a dynamic, customer-facing business, tackling large-scale, challenging initiatives. If the requirements dictated by this dynamic do not align to your personal desires, you have every right to find a career opportunity that is suitable to your aspirations and needs. That said, if a self-directed, virtual, or hybrid work schedule is essential for you to manage your career aspirations and life challenges, you will have a difficult time aligning your priorities with those of the company and the culture we aim to establish.TRANSLATION: We know your life is hard, but shut the fuck up about it because I don't care.WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS BOARD?Here are the “go hard or go home” board membersBill Kennard, lead "independent" director connected in 13 loops to other directors, been there for 11 years, who got his undergrad in communications from Stanford and worked at the FCC and was an ambassador - proving once again that “communications” isn't a qualification for communicating?Marissa Mayer - maybe this business thing isn't for you? Mike Mcallister, ex Humana CEO, who was investigated for duping elderly into thinking Obamacare's passage would cut Medicare?Scott Ford, who lead the biggest landline company before pivoting to selling coffee, as your bright star into the future of tech?That's where the board is - unqualified for the moment, highly interconnected, with long careers of average performanceLuis von Ahn and the tech bro “sorry, not sorry” we were just “being edgy” no but seriously I know what's best for you secretly manbabiesDuolingo's CEO says he learned a hard lesson about 'edgy posts' and going viralFirst, says Duolingo, the app for learning languages, would be “AI-first”Then says they're not hiring anymore as long as it can be done by AIThen says schools will really just be childcare with AI teachers, and teachers will just “take care of the children” and you need schools for the “childcare”In his apology, he said sorry for being “edgy”Yes, it was the edginess, not the assholeryIf you want to quickly identify a manbaby, it's easy: first they “say” something they really think, then their apology basically is “sorry you didn't get it, I won't say it again”Headliniest of the WeekDR: Shareholders Judge Directors by Their Faces, Study FindsMM: Trump calls for Intel CEO to 'resign immediately'More ESG analysis:Boeing's ex-CFOBlackRock's ex founderThe former CEO at Jack Dorsey's SquareA partner at SequoiaA Princeton professorThe former CEO of HPThe chair who's a VC and has been there since 2009Who Won the Week?DR: Boston Mayor Michelle Wu for calling out the billionaire Kraft family regarding the new stadium proposed for the New England Revolution: “We haven't asked for anything out of the ordinary for any significant development, much less a mega-development like this one … To this day, the Kraft Group has provided the city no meaningful technical information … What we've heard has stayed at a conceptual level that is insufficient for any serious negotiation.Citing the proposed figure of $750,000 that the Kraft Group would pay to Boston as a mitigation fee, Wu said, “It is an unserious proposal … the figure is “just 1.1 percent of the $68 million mitigation package that was paid for the Everett casino project right nearby years ago.”Wu, who as the incumbent is also campaigning against Josh Kraft (son of Revolution owner Robert Kraft) in Boston's mayoral race, didn't miss a chance to land a political dig at her opponent: Referencing the proposed mitigation fee, she said that “$750,000 is just one-and-a-half month's of a billionaire son's allowance. It is nowhere near the scale of what we need to address the plans that have already been laid out by our residents, with our traffic engineers, with the coordination of the entire region.”MM: Jamie Smith at EY for writing the only other 2025 US proxy review that included a whole section on director votesPredictionsDR: Trump tries to fit into a pair of Sydney Sweeney's jeans (re: the OJ glove) to prove he did not know Epstein.

C'était l'une des surprises de la fin de l'année dernière. Pat Gelsinger, le boss du fondeur Intel, était mis sur la touche par les actionnaires de la société.Et jusqu'alors, nul ne savait qui allait prendre sa place. Et voici que la semaine dernière le géant des semi-conducteurs a nommé Lip-Bu Tan, 65 ans, au poste de directeur général.Penchons nous sur l'homme, et sa stratégie pour refaire partir la machine Intel.Alors qui est Lip-Bu Tan ?C'est un vétéran de l'industrie des semi-conducteurs, avec à son actif plus de deux décennies d'expérience.Il est connu pour la croissance sous sa direction des revenus et de la marge de la société de logiciel Cadence Design Systems. Mais il est aussi le fondateur d'une société de capital-risque. Son expertise repose donc sur le logiciel, et l'investissement. Bref, ce n'est pas un spécialiste des processeurs et de l'infrastructure informatique.Néanmoins, l'homme propose une rupture stratégique avec la direction précédente.Changement de cap stratégique pour IntelSous la direction de Pat Gelsinger, Intel avait développé une stratégie d'expansion de ses capacités de fabrication. L'idée était de concurrencer des géants comme le taïwanais TSMC en produisant des puces pour des tiers.Cependant, cette approche a rencontré des obstacles, notamment à cause de retards dans la technologie de fabrication. La conséquence a été une perte de parts de marché au profit de concurrents comme Nvidia. Et donc l'éviction de Pat Gelsinger.Lip-Bu Tan adopte lui une approche différente. Il envisage de recentrer Intel sur l'innovation produit et l'ingénierie, en mettant l'accent sur le développement de produits de pointe. De plus, il évalue la possibilité de séparer les divisions de conception et de fabrication de puces. Et cela marquerait un changement significatif par rapport à l'intégration verticale traditionnelle d'Intel.Lip-Bu Tan bien accueilli, pour l'instantC'est donc un pari risqué. Mais pour l'instant, le marché réagit plutôt bien.L'annonce de la nomination de Lip-Bu Tan a été bien accueillie, avec une augmentation de 15 % du cours de l'action Intel.Surtout, les analystes sont optimistes quant à sa capacité à redresser l'entreprise.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

Na maanden zoeken is hij er: een nieuwe ceo! De doorgewinterde chipveteraan Lip-Bu Tan (65) moet Intel gaan redden. Beleggers zijn euforisch. Toch is het maar de vraag of met zijn komst de rust terugkeert. Eén ding leek namelijk zeker: Intel zou zich opsplitsen. Maar de komst van Tan kan dat voornemen in gevaar brengen. Net als Intel werd ook bouw-duo BAM en Heijmans jarenlang verafschuwd door beleggers. Beleggers vonden Nederlandse bouwers te risicovol, vanwege probleemprojecten en geblunder in het buitenland. Maar het herstel in ingezet! De aandelen behoren tot de hardste stijgers van het Damrak. En beide bedrijven promoveren binnenkort. Terecht? Of is de ellende nog lang niet voorbij? We staan ook stil bij Donald Trump's fascinatie voor sterke drank, de botte kettingzaag van Elon Musk en bij Volkswagen dat een oorlogsprofiteur blijkt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textIn this engaging podcast, Shelly Morales, founder and CEO of Morales HR, takes us on an inspiring journey—from her early days working at her family's hot dog stand, “Sandy's Happy Hot Dogs,” in the Bay Area to holding influential HR leadership roles in top tech companies and ultimately establishing her own HR consulting firm. Shelly shares how grit and determination fueled her path from a receptionist manually tracking resumes to impactful HR leadership positions at companies like LinkedIn, Quantenna, Atlassian, and Cadence Design Systems. Reflecting on her growth from an HR generalist to a strategic business partner, she discusses how her dedication to connecting people with meaningful work, improving employee experiences, and advocating for flexible employment practices has shaped her career.A pivotal chapter of her career was at Atlassian, where she saw firsthand the power of technology in building connectivity and engagement within remote teams. Atlassian's early commitment to remote work, long before the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighted the essential role of tools like Confluence, Slack, and the now-retired HipChat in fostering team cohesion and a strong company culture across continents and time zones. These tools not only allowed dispersed teams to stay connected in real time but also encouraged personal storytelling that bridged physical distances. The onset of the pandemic accelerated the acceptance of remote work and highlighted how blending work and personal life could enhance productivity and work satisfaction, shifting companies' focus from rigid office hours to outcome-based performance and helping establish a more human-centered work culture.Through Morales HR, Shelly aims to create a supportive network for professionals seeking roles that align with today's flexible and dynamic work environments—from remote and fractional engagements to gig work opportunities. Her firm connects members across industries and roles, from CHROs and CFOs to customer support, without relying on traditional job postings.Kindness is at the heart of Morales HR's intake process, where prospective members engage in a personal interview to ensure alignment with the company's values. Shelly firmly believes that kindness and inclusivity are essential yet often overlooked qualities for creating a supportive workplace. By working with companies that value these principles, Morales HR builds relationships that uphold professionalism and empathy, benefiting both employees and employers.Shelly also highlights Morales HR's role in the expanding gig economy, a trend she has championed for years. While not all early predictions around the gig economy and digital currency came to fruition, Shelly notes that the demand for flexible, project-based roles has steadily grown. Shelly Morales's story is one of resilience and transformation. Her career represents the evolution of HR from administrative support to a people-centered, strategic practice that embraces flexibility, kindness, and the power of technology. Her mission is clear: to build connections between employees and employers that prioritize human connection, work-life balance, and mutual respect, setting a foundation for a thriving future in HR.Learn more about Shelly:Shelly's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shellymorales/MoralesHR's webpage: https://moraleshr.com/

For this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show podcast, we welcome Mark Seymour, Distinguished Engineer with Cadence Design Systems, for a discussion of the big question on everyone's mind right now in this industry: data center power demand and where it's going in the context of rapid digitalization and exponential growth of HPC and AI computing needs, and how that compares and contrasts, or even conflicts, with increasing environmental concerns and regulations.  The conversation also highlights the importance of digital twins for managing data center efficiency and the advantages of liquid cooling technology, and particularly immersion cooling, as a sustainable alternative to traditional methods. In the course of our interview, Seymour also emphasizes the data center industry's responsiveness to societal demands for sustainability, citing initiatives such as ubiquitous tree planting by project developers, and the need to adapt to new technological challenges. Here's a timeline of the podcast's key moments: 2:59 - Seymour explains that AI is essentially high-performance computing, which is now required in many data centers that previously did not need it. 12:05 - Addressing the challenges and potential of immersion cooling technology: Emphasizing its growing acceptance, but also the need for confidence in its operation. 17:52 - Talk turns to the importance of digital twins in ultimately managing data center efficiency, with Seymour highlighting the necessity for understanding the interrelated behaviors of IT infrastructure and cooling systems. 24:18 - Discussion circles back to immersion cooling as a sustainable option for data centers, with Seymour expounding on its advantages over traditional cooling methods. 27:44 - Seymour elaborates on the improvements in compute efficiency per watt in modern systems, arguing that the data center industry is responding and adapting to societal demands, rather than being inherently unsustainable. 30:42 - Seymour acknowledges the industry's focus on sustainability and environmental impact, citing examples such Cadence's tree planting initiatives and the ongoing challenge of meeting new technological demands.

All rights of ownership and reproduction are retained—copyright 2023Jim Hunt's BIOJim attended public high school, graduating with multiple scholarship choices.  He declined a football scholarship to the Colorado School of Mines & Technology in favor of an Air Force ROTC scholarship which took him to Carnegie Mellon University.  Jim studied Electrical Engineering there, graduating in 1994.  In his 24-year career that followed, almost all of Jim's Continuing Education classes covered soft skills like leadership, team-building, mentoring, and communication skills.After Jim left his tech career he underwent an intensive education program around human behavior, relationships, and mental health.  Today Jim is back in school, pursuing a master's of Social Work at the University of Kentucky, to become a licensed therapist.Professional LifeJim started in the automotive electronics and wiring sector but took the opportunity to reset back into the microchip side of the tech industry after a contract was terminated in Detroit.  In San Jose California, he began what would be a 21-year career with Cadence Design Systems, in the Hardware/Software verification space.  At cadence, Jim was consistently promoted and was running an international team with groups in San Jose, Boston, and New Delhi, when he decided to change his life.Life TransitionsJim reports feeling like much of his life has been in transition, but specifically mentioned a few of the more challenging or impactful transitions. When he found himself without a home as he began his Senior year of high school, was one of them.  The generosity of a kind family is why he did not end up homeless.  It turned out well for him, but that period of uncertainty was particularly difficult.  Another big transition is when he left his "adopted" living situation unexpectedly and had to find a place to live while working a full-time job and taking three classes, all preceding his final semester at CMU.  Jim weathered a lot of chaos in his personal and professional career in the 2000 - 2019 time period, ultimately leading to burnout and initiating major changes in his life.  In early 2019 he made the self-described "terrifying decision" to divorce his wife of 19 years, leave his career, and leave California.  This was the life transition he describes as requiring the most courage because it was intentional and self-driven.  Several smaller transitions since then lead to the present, as Jim embarks on a very different education and career path - another transition.

In this episode of Chip Stock Investor, Nick and Kasey review another stellar quarter from EDA (electronic design automation) software company Cadence Design Systems (CDNS). Some headlines have suggested the company is suffering from a weak semiconductor industry, but nothing could be further from the truth. Cadence and its EDA peers benefit from increased R&D as chip and computing system designs get more complex. Now Cadence is betting on a similar dynamic playing out among big pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Cadence is in the early stages of making its OpenEye Scientific acquisition (over the summer of 2022) a giant in computing power for drug discovery, development, and optimization. Similar trends in chip and AI could help propel this new market for Cadence higher as well. Finally, Nick and Kasey discuss valuation, and assumptions the market may have for Cadence stock. There's no denying shares trade for a very high premium, so they discuss how investors may choose to approach this top chip stock if they don't already own it.

How VCs are reacting. "It's better to take a lower valuation from a high-quality strategic individual than it is to chase the highest valuation because a bad investor will hurt you faster than anything else."16:00 -- On serving as Chair of public companies. "The biggest difference [between Chair and other directors] is that as Chair, you are the last to speak. It's really important to know that the role of the Chair is [to seek] the high quality functioning of the board and the participation of all the directors, not to share your opinion." "Leadership by listening rather than by speaking."18:12 -- On the separation of Chair and CEO roles. "It's really important that you really do have an independent board."20:29 -- On dual-class stock and founder control.
