When we're in times like these where it feels like progress is long and slow, I re-watch Ajit Manocha speeches and content myself that he's our Exec. Co-Chairman. This man is building something bigger than he is, with passion seldom seen in people. He knows all the in's and out's of our business and for him to come out of retirement, POET must be significant in his world view. I can't see a guy with passion like this, take on a job for just the money, you see it in every interview, he cares, he believes and he wants to change this industry. Clearly he views POET as a piece of the puzzle in his Foundry 2.0 view, maybe even Foundry 3.0? The 2.0 model has been hugely successful and just keeps growing..

I know these have been posted here before, but it might be good for some to be reminded..


"There is no debate that Foundry business model ran into major problems at 40nm and 28nm, which is why Ajit Manocha invented Foundry 2.0 as a fix. In this interview, he discusses what Foundry 2.0 is all about and how he has restructured GLOBALFOUNDRIES to deliver on the promises. We find out what's really different about it, why it’s needed today, and how it's working out with their latest design wins."
