The importance of innovation, adaptability and resilience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

This is the first in a new Pender Ventures podcast series reflecting the scale-up stories of some of the great Canadian technology companies.<\/p>\n

We kick off with the story of PMC-Sierra, a pioneering and leading semiconductor chipset supplier that specialized in the design and development of integrated circuits for networking, telecommunications and data storage.<\/p>\n

Maria Pacella, Managing Partner of Pender Ventures sat down with three key executives and co-founders, each of whom made significant contributions to the semiconductor industry, Greg Aasen, Kevin Huscroft and Colin Harris.<\/p>\n

They look back on the critical phases of PMC-Sierra\u2019s evolution, the strategic decisions made by leadership, its impact on the broader tech landscape, navigating 2000, and what they\u2019d do differently if they had to do it all again.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":70368,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"fund-type":[],"topics":[96],"class_list":["post-60363","podcasts","type-podcasts","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","topics-pender-ventures"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPMC-Sierra \u2013 The importance of innovation, adaptability and resilience - PenderFund Capital Management<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/penderfund.com\/fr\/podcasts\/pmc-sierra-the-importance-of-innovation-adaptability-and-resilience\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_CA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"PMC-Sierra \u2013 The importance of innovation, adaptability and resilience\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The importance of innovation, adaptability and resilience.
