Jiri Kaufhold

I bring three decades of experience across managerial roles, specializing in selling electronic design automation tools and complex electronic design environments across European markets. As the regional sales leader for Hewlett-Packard in Munich, I secured large-scale industrial contracts with Bosch, Philips, and Motorola. I have achieved similar sales and business development success, fostering new and emerging businesses at Matsushita, Cadence Design Systems Inc., and Ricardo Plc. My extensive knowledge spans electronics, semiconductor design, communication systems, and digital platforms. I am passionate about digital transformation solutions that impact emerging multi-billion-dollar businesses worldwide. I also maintain strong connections with technical universities in Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, and Finland, which help me stay informed about deep tech discoveries. I am convinced that my strong industry connections and many years of semiconductor business experience can help improve business results in the region while increasing its visibility in the European semiconductor design and manufacturing field.
