Subject: The exceptional People who work at Apache -- naming names

THE STARS -- This part pretty much explains itself.  OK, so the CEO and his
support staff got all sorts of kudos.  That's to be expected.  But some of
the Sales & Marketing people?!  Huh?

 "Who, if anyone, are the exceptional people who work at Apache?  (You
  know, the ones you watch regardless of what company they're at.)  What's
  his/her job?  Why are they exceptional in your eyes?"


    Andrew Yang (CEO, I guess), I know him since Anagram, Avanti.

    Eric Thune (Sales director), honest and direct.

    Aveek Sarkar (Support, I do not recall his position), very
    knowledgeable, with customer oriented manner.  Goes the 2nd
    mile to help.

    Aveek, Emre.  These guys used to support over the weekends.  And very
    responsive.  Very much impressed with the Apache support.

    Andrew Yang - CEO, he da man!

    Aveek Sarkar, Applications.

    The person I watch over there is Yukari Chin, Director of Marketing.
    She is smart and knows both the front-end and back-end parts of the
    verification design flow.  She can take the pile of features that
    comes out of R&D and turn them into benefits customers can buy into.
    Apache is lucky to have her.

    Norman Chang provides an excellent support to our projects.

    Andrew Yang, their CEO was the first one to present to our team.  Great
    visionary and very good leader (their execution speaks for him).

    Shunlien Wang (AE manager) and Emre Kualali (Sr. AE) helped us very
    much in our tapeout and making it a very pleasant experience.

    Dian Yang/Asia GM
    Robby Tung/District Manager
    Michael Lin/Sr. AE

    Jerome Toublanc, he da man!  Always available when you need him, he
    spends his time with us to understand & try to fix the problems, and
    does a lot of pro-active support, coming back to us regularly.  Much
    appreciated.

        - [ An Anon Engineer ]


    I just know Jerome Toublanc who is Applications Engineer.  I think
    he was very motivated and willing to demonstrate the capabilities of
    RedHawk.  He made an impressive report of his work.

        - [ An Anon Engineer ]


    Jeff Smith is a good man with a grass roots understanding of dynamic
    IR drop.  He's an AE and is able to explain a problem in an easy to
    comprehend manner.

        - [ An Anon Engineer ]


    We receive excellent support from our local AE in France (Paris).

        - [ An Anon Engineer ]


    Our Apache FAEs, **** ****, and **** ****, have been extremely
    proficient at bringing up our in-house testcases, debugging issues
    as they surface, as well as being a quick and communicative conduit
    to Apache's R&D team for enhancement requests.

    Since we really like them in their current positions supporting us
    (and not at our competitors), I prefer not to publish their names.
