Yatin Trivedi to Receive 2014 Accellera Leadership Award

NAPA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- May 29, 2014 -- Accellera Systems Initiative, the electronics industry organization focused on the creation and adoption of electronic design automation (EDA) and intellectual property (IP) standards, has named Accellera board member Yatin Trivedi as the recipient of its 2014 Leadership Award. The Award recognizes the vision, leadership and contribution to standards development, governance and promotional activities of the organization. The Award will be presented at the Design Automation Conference during the Accellera breakfast meeting, June 3.

"Yatin has made numerous contributions to Accellera's strategy, promotion, infrastructure, and financial management over the years. Under his watch, Accellera has become financially stronger while assimilating additional EDA standards bodies and bringing in new programs such as the IEEE Get Program for EDA standards. In my opinion, he exemplifies the Leadership Award," said Shishpal Rawat, Accellera Systems Initiative chair.

"It is an honor to receive this prestigious award," said Yatin Trivedi, Director of Standards and Interoperability Programs at Synopsys. "Working with Accellera has given me the opportunity to collaborate with dedicated volunteers from across the industry to create the best standards possible and make them readily available to design and verification engineers. It has been my privilege to partner with my esteemed colleagues to make Accellera into the vibrant organization it is today. I look forward to continuing to collaborate to keep Accellera on the forefront of innovation and standards excellence."

Mr. Trivedi has been in engineering, marketing and management roles in the semiconductor industry for 30 years. As the Treasurer since 2008, Yatin has grown Accellera into a financially strong organization with 35 members and over 20 standards. His financial acumen paved the way for strategic relationships with The SPIRIT Consortium and the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI), which resulted in the formation of Accellera Systems Initiative in 2010. Most recently Yatin helped bring the assets of the Open Core Protocol International Partnership (OCP-IP) under the organization's umbrella.

Accomplishments:

Currently, Yatin serves as the treasurer and a board member of Accellera. He represents Synopsys on several technical standards committees, manages interoperability initiatives under the corporate strategic marketing group, and works closely with the Synopsys University program. Yatin received his B.E. (Hons) EEE from BITS, Pilani and M.S. Computer Engineering from Case Western Reserve University.
