ABOUT SHOM PONOTH
I am a technology and engineering executive with deep experience across AI platforms, agentic systems, and semiconductor innovation. I currently serve as EVP & Head of Semiconductor Solutions at Emergence, where I lead a new practice focused on transforming critical semiconductor workflows into intelligent, agentic data-to-insight systems.Previously, I served as Chief Product Officer, guiding the product strategy and evolution of CRAFT, Emergence’s natural-language-to-agent platform. Before that, as SVP of Engineering, I helped setup and manage the new organization as it spun out of Merlyn Mind.Earlier in my career, I built and led Merlyn Mind’s hardware organization and established its West Coast office. Prior to transitioning into AI, I spent a decade at IBM and five years at Broadcom as a semiconductor technologist, contributing to advanced R&D, device and interconnect development, and high-volume product launches.I have published 30+ papers, hold 140 U.S. patents, and am an ex-IBM Master Inventor. My passion is building teams and technologies that push industries forward.
