Sheffield helped lead the successful IPO of Magma Design Automation as that company's CFO in 2001. He has been CFO of seven Silicon Valley companies, including several well-known, high-tech companies, such as Time-Warner Interactive, Faroudja, Asante Technologies, and Televideo Systems.
"RAS's addition is an important step in our evolution," said Vic Kulkarni, Sequence president and CEO. "As we continue to grow, it is vital that we maintain sound financials that allow us to develop products, retain key people, serve our customers, and build wealth for investors. RAS is the ideal man to help us accomplish all of these goals and more, and I welcome him to the Sequence family."
"Being the unquestioned technology leader in power-aware design puts Sequence in the front ranks of EDA," Sheffield said. "The company is uniquely positioned to have a lasting impact on design, and I look forward to working with Vic as they expand their impact in this important industry."
Sheffield holds a bachelor's degree in finance from Cal State, Northridge, and an MBA from the University of Utah.
