Arif Samad Email & Phone Number

Arif Samad is a Senior Director of Software Engineering at Intel Corporation. He possess expertise in eda, verilog, soc, asic, leadership and 10 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Very early in my career, I reported to Arif in a technical writing role at Synopsys. I joined the company just after Systems Science had been acquired by Synopsys. Arif had agreed to interview me despite a lack of direct EDA expertise. I was just 1 year out of college, and I had spent that year working at a database company (Sybase). The interview showed that Arif was willing to take measured chances, and the eventual hire proved to me that he was someone who could spot talent and ultimately cultivate that talent. This is an important trait in leaders, and Arif showcased that ability in building a strong team around him. Perhaps more impressive was his ability to balance personality and authenticity with a focus on execution and operational excellence. Always quick to offer up a smile, he was easy to work for, and he tempered that with a focus on execution that drove everyone around him to work hard towards stated objectives. Looking back now (from a different role in a different industry), I think Arif was one of the people who shaped the type of leader I have become. Growing talent is perhaps the toughest job an organizational leader must do, and I think Arif has excelled in that capacity."

Listed skills include Eda, Verilog, Soc, Asic, and 11 others.
