PMC-Sierra – The importance of innovation, adaptability and resilience

This is the first in a new Pender Ventures podcast series reflecting the scale-up stories of some of the great Canadian technology companies.   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.  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.   They look back on the critical phases of PMC-Sierra's evolution, the strategic decisions made by leadership, its impact on the broader tech landscape, navigating 2000, and what they'd do differently if they had to do it all again.
