PARIS, March 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VSORA, provider of high-performance silicon and intellectual property (IP) solutions for autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, today appointed Gilles Labossière, founder and CEO of investment firm Republic Alley, as an advisor to its board of directors.
“I am delighted Gilles accepted our invitation,” says Khaled Maalej, CEO and founder of VSORA. “His considerable experience as a CFO and CEO and as a board member at numerous technology companies will bring the wealth of knowledge we need to help us continue growing.”
Labossière most recently served as CEO at SenseFly, a drone producer in Lausanne, Switzerland, and MicaSence, a sensor manufacturer in Seattle, Wash. Earlier, he was executive vice president and CFO of Parrot, a Parisian drone maker. Labossière is a graduate of the HEC Paris Business School in France.
“Khaled and I met in 2011 as Parrot acquired DiBcom where he was CTO,” comments Labossière. “I am proud to help him repeat the success we had at Parrot with VSORA, an impressive company with remarkable technology paving the path to autonomous driving.”
VSORA recently announced its family of PetaFLOPS computational companion chips to accelerate Level 3 (L3) through Level 5 (L5) autonomous vehicle design. Tyr™, the first full silicon solution from VSORA, uses a proprietary and scalable architecture to achieve unparalleled performance built on the VSORA AD1028 architecture. Delivering between 258-trillion and 1,032-trillion operations per second and consuming as little as 10 Watts, Tyr allows users to implement autonomous driving functions previously not commercially viable.
