“As semiconductor design gets ever more complex, IP reuse is becoming a mandate for most companies, and we’ve seen an explosion in our growth in 2015, both within the U.S. and internationally,” said Jerry Brocklehurst, VP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing. “To help meet this demand and to better support our international customers, we are pleased to announce the addition of two industry veterans to our sales team – David DePaula and SangHo Park.  Their experience and relationships will be essential as we enter an exciting new phase of growth in 2016 and beyond.”

David was instrumental in developing the sales of Synchronicity/Dassault Systemes in Europe from 2005 to 2012, and joins Methodics with 18 years of sales and business development experience in the semiconductor industry, including 15 years selling EDA and enterprise software.  Over the past 4 years, David was VP of Worldwide Sales at Magillem, helping customers address their IP reuse needs in the areas of SoC assembly and documentation.  David will be representing Methodics in EMEA through his company Accel’R Consultingwhile he will pursue his mission with Magillem.

Formerly a VP of the Semiconductor Business Unit of Daouincube, SangHo brings over 20 years Electronic Design Automation (EDA), IC, and SoC design, customer support, and sales experience to his new role.  In addition, he spent several years as the country manager for Zenasis Technology, and his background includes technical support for customers on a wide range of EDA tools including Cadence, Synopsys, Verplex, Cadabra, Monterey, OpenSilicon, Atoptech, and others.  SangHo has a B.S. in Electronics from SunChunHyung University in Korea.

“Given the discussions I’ve had with customers on the topics of ‘IP reuse’ and ‘data management’ over the past several years, I feel Methodics provides the best analog and digital DM management and IP reuse solution for my Magillem customers and for the SoC and IC marketplace in general.  I’m very excited to be representing Methodics as we head into 2016,” said David.
