Richard Hegberg appointed as Aspinity’s CEO

Analog machine learning chip developer Aspinity has announced Richard Hegberg as its new CEO to replace the company’s co-founder Tom Doyle, who has held the position of CEO for the previous seven years. Doyle will, however, remain as a board member and will become the company’s chief operating officer.

Doyle said, “Richard Hegberg’s track record in elevating companies with unique breakthrough technologies to billion-dollar revenues was a decisive factor in his selection. With his leadership, Aspinity is poised for significant growth in product development and IP, cementing its position as a leader in all-analog ML/AI processing.”

Before his role at Aspinity, Hegberg had worked at Vesper Mems, NetApp, SanDisk, and Qualcomm. He said, “It has become clear to me that Aspinity’s technology and IP portfolio delivers unique sensing capabilities at near-zero power, utilizing the analog ML processor. I look forward to helping the company scale while driving commercial success.”
