"Her demonstrated expertise in leading-edge technology and business development, operations, complex ecosystems and global markets will be of high value as a complement to the strong board we have at Synopsys."

"I'm excited about the opportunities that Synopsys has in EDA and semiconductor IP, in light of today's hyperscalers and the dawn of quantum computing, and in the Software Integrity business, as the need for security testing continues to accelerate," Sargent said.
