SAN JOSE, CALIF. -- April 9, 2009 -- Forte Design Systems, a leading
provider of High Level Synthesis software, today named Suk-Ha Lee (SH
Lee) as country manager for Korea, a move to a direct sales channel to
support a growing list of customers.
"An expanding market, our growing business and the increased demand
for SystemC-based synthesis are converging to make Korea one of our
fastest growing regions," remarks Brett Cline, Forte's vice president of
marketing and sales. "SH Lee's broad EDA experience and solid
relationships throughout Korea's semiconductor companies makes him an
ideal fit to drive the next level of adoption. We welcome him to
our team."
With more than 17 years of experience in account management, business
development, customer relations and team building, Lee will be
responsible for marketing and selling Cynthesizer(tm), a premier electronic
system level (ESL) SystemC synthesis product.
"While the downturn is forcing companies to think differently and do
more with less, the demand for increased productivity hasn't changed,"
says Lee. "That's why Forte's Cynthesizer is an attractive ESL
tool to the Korean market." As part of his plan to increase
Forte's visibility in Korea, Lee is planning a seminar series in early
May on high-level synthesis.
Previously, Lee worked for Synplicity, now a business unit of
Synopsys Inc., beginning in 2001 as Korean country manager. He
served as an account manager for Synopsys Korea, as country manager for
Compass Korea and an EDA sales manager at distributor Anam S&T Co. Ltd.
Earlier in his career, he was an R&D engineer at Poscon. Lee holds
a B.E. degree in Material Science from Yonsei University in Seoul, South
Korea.
