Dear Students,

Brad is the CFO of Cypress Semiconductor (last year’ judge for our students) Big lab in India and knows about the landscape and technology needs – he is another source of great ideas.

If you want time with him, let Denice know and we can set up a time where we all can pick his brains. Cypress offerings include programmable system-on-chip families and derivatives such as PowerPSoC® solutions for high-voltage and LED lighting applications, CapSense® touch sensing and TrueTouch® solutions for touchscreens. Cypress is the world leader in USB controllers, including the high-performance West Bridge® solution that enhances connectivity and performance in multimedia handsets. Cypress is also a leader in high-performance memories and programmable timing devices. Cypress serves numerous markets including consumer, mobile handsets, computation, data communications, automotive, industrial and military. Cypress trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol CY.

Blessings,

Thanks for the quick reply back, Brad.

Can my students set up a time to speak to you over the phone to seek your input on couple of ideas they have? Your experience with your Indian operation will greatly help.

Blessings,

Dear Brad,

I trust that you are doing well, my class returned from Bangalore India hosted by companies that are into healthcare and education for emerging markets. I would like to invite you to judge our students presentations –

Would you be available to pre-judge the student presentations before the executives do to input? March 17 and 19 in the late afternoons 4pm-5:30pm. I let me know if you are available – challenges are attached.

Blessings,

 

Solomon N. Darwin
