DevTalk with Rich and Vin: Hidetoshi Shibata, CEO, Renesas

About this episode

The episode features an interview with Hidetoshi Shibata, CEO of Renesas, discussing his experiences and decisions in the tech industry.

Every once in a while, we hit a home run when it comes to bringing guests onto the DevTalk podcast, and today we did just that. We managed to wrangle in Hidetoshi Shibata, who has been in his current CEO role at Renesas for about six years. Toshi was very forthcoming with us, as we went through his fairly colorful past, and more importantly, the decisions he has had to make as the CEO of one of the most powerful companies in our space.
