Dr. Simon Blake-Wilson joined Rambus in January 2026 and currently serves as the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Silicon IP at Rambus. \u202fHe is responsible for the development and growth of the company\u2019s silicon IP products, driving high-performance, secured memory and interconnect architectural innovation in Data Center and Edge Connectivity applications.\u202f<\/p>

Throughout his career, Simon has focused on driving commercial adoption of advanced technologies. He began his career as Director of Research at Certicom, driving adoption of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). He authored prominent ECC standards in international organizations including ANSI, ICAO, IEEE, and IETF. He also wrote the SEC ECC standards which provide the cryptographic foundation in bitcoin. ECC evolved into the dominant cryptographic technology on the Internet over the last 20 years, with its replacement by next generation post-quantum cryptography finally now underway.<\/p>

Subsequently Simon served as Vice President, Embedded Security Solutions at AuthenTec, driving the adoption of semiconductor-based fingerprint sensors. He was a member of the executive team that sold AuthenTec to Apple, where the technology is marketed as Touch ID\u00ae and has driven broad adoption of fingerprints and biometrics more generally in consumer applications.<\/p>

Most recently Simon spent the last 5 years prior to joining Rambus as Vice President of Sales at FARO, a leading technology provider in the metrology space, providing advanced measurement solutions into diverse markets including manufacturing, construction, and public safety. FARO was acquired by Ametek in July 2025.<\/p>

Simon holds a Ph.D. in Math from Royal Holloway, University of London and was a Fulbright student at Auburn University. As evidence that \u201cthe apple doesn\u2019t fall far from the tree\u201d, Simon recently discovered that his grandfather worked at Bletchley Park during WWII with the teams led by Alan Turing and Tommy Flowers to develop the world\u2019s first computer and break the German Enigma codes in the events captured in the Hollywood movie, \u201cThe Imitation Game\u201d. Like many of his generation, Simon\u2019s grandfather took secrecy seriously and died without ever mentioning his work during the war to any friends or family.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
