“I feel privileged to take on this role at such an exciting time for VyperCore.  In the eighteen months since Russell and Ed raised the largest seed-round funding for a British chip startup in a decade, they have assembled a very impressive team that has built a powerful technology platform.  I am looking forward to guiding VyperCore and its investors along the next stage of growth,’ said Sean.

Sean, who has worked at a number of deep technology and innovative engineering companies for over 35 years, has been through the entire semiconductor lifecycle multiple times, from founding to exits both on the public markets and through trade sales.

Sean is a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin.

“Sean’s track record of leadership and innovation at leading silicon companies including Intel, Movidius, CEVA, Frontier Silicon and Parthus makes him an ideal person for our business.  We were honoured to have a strong field of deep tech candidates to choose from, and we are delighted that Sean wanted to join us.  I am really looking forward to working closely with him as we develop and grow the business over the coming years and take VyperCore to the next stage of our exciting journey." said Russell Haggar, CEO.
