SAN JOSE, Calif. — Verification provider 0-In Design Automation Inc. has named Emil Girczyc, who previously served as the company's executive vice president of products, as its new president and chief executive officer. Co-founder Curtis Widdoes, who formerly held those positions, will remain chairman of the board and will become the company's chief technology officer.

Girczyc's previous EDA experience includes stints as vice president of marketing at Cadabra Design Technology and as general manager and vice president of the design verification business unit at Synopsys Inc. "He was one of the core team responsible for architecting the strategy by which Synopsys came to dominate synthesis in the early 1990s," Widdoes said.

0-In was a pioneer in the area of assertion-based verification, which has become a vital part of today's IC verification environments. Widdoes, a longtime EDA veteran, said he will focus on developing and enhan cing 0-In's core technology.
