van Der Made, co-founder of Brainchip. “I am pleased to work
closely with Tony on transition and handing over the reins to a
well-qualified team for BrainChip’s future growth.”

personally thank Peter for his energy, intelligence, and drive that
has helped bring BrainChip to where it is today,” Sean Hehir,
