Added: Over a year ago by Imagination Technologies
Last year I was privileged to join Imagination as its chief executive officer and was delighted to join a company that has not only a distinguished history, but also incredible potential.
With over 25 years of experience in designing and licensing market-leading IP processor solutions, we are today found in over 30% of the world’s mobile phones and, in total, over 11bn devices globally.
Imagination is widely acknowledged as a company that creates innovative, high-quality technologies that solve complex problems for its customers. Across compute, graphics, and AI, it is laser-focused on delivering IP that provides high-performance and low power consumption in the smallest silicon area, thus empowering its partners to succeed, be it in mobile, consumer, automotive or other markets.
Of course, no one could have foreseen what a tumultuous year 2020 would be for the entire world, but I was very proud how Imagination faced up to these challenges and ended the year in a great position, with revenues up 44% over the previous year. We did this by delivering on highly complex and challenging projects such as our IMG Series4 NNA, IMG B-Series GPUs, and, recently, key new (albeit unannounced) IP to lead customers.
We operate in a sector that is highly dynamic and moves at a significant velocity – but it is filled with opportunity. What I have learned from my 30+ years in the technology industry is that to be successful a company needs to have clarity of vision and focus. Over the last few months, we have been working towards refreshing and revitalising our vision and mission to complement our strong strategy and product roadmap.
