Janet Olson

Janet Olson is a Silicon Valley technology executive and leading contributor to the field of semiconductor Electronic Design Automation (EDA).[1] For over 30 years, she was Vice President of Engineering at the world's top two semiconductor EDA companies - first Synopsys and then Cadence Design Systems.[1] She holds 9 U.S. patents.[2]

With a focus on logic synthesis,[3] Olson published numerous papers and presented at international EDA conferences, such as the International Symposium on Physical Design, the International Conference on Computer-Aided Design, and Design Automation and Test in Europe.[4] [5] [6] [7]

She is on the Board of Equal Opportunity Schools, and chairs its Technology Governance Committee.[2]

Olson obtained her BS in electrical engineering and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and MS in electrical engineering from Stanford University.[1][3]
