First Degree Connections ft. Renu Mehra and Deepak Sherlekar
We all know the story of Cinderella. She was left at home to clean up while her step-mother and step-sisters went to the prince's ball. A fairy godmother showed up and helped send her to the ball, eventually leading to her getting married to the prince and having a happy life.
While not as dramatic, most successful people met someone along the way that had a profound impact on their career.
We at First Degree Connections want to tell the stories of these 'Career Fairies'. We interview successful people from various industries to talk about the key people that significantly impacted their career.
In this episode we interview two guests:
Renu Mehra is a Vice President at Synopsys. In a career spanning over 30 years, she led the research and development teams of several key products at Synopsys. She played a critical role in developing a unified power format that enabled chips to be designed at lower power - crucial for mobile phones, smart watches etc.
Deepak Sherlekar is a Fellow at Synopsys. Having built a career (of over 40 years) culminating in holding the highest technical title at Synopsys, he has contributed immensely to the semiconductor industry helping build efficient standard cells - the basic building blocks of modern digital chips.
