Calista Redmond

Redmond has actively led new initiatives for RISC-V since 2019, including developer conferences, partnerships with major tech companies and chip designers, and open source educational outreach. Among these initiatives is Redmond's work to create the RISC-V partnership with the European Processor Initiative, involving chip research groups across the continent. Redmond hosted RISC-V's annual summit in December 2020, partnering with Western Digital, Seagate Technology, Huawei, and ZTE. Redmond has marketed RISC-V as an ARM alternative both previous to and following ARM's proposed acquisition by Nvidia. Redmond also moved the RISC-V Foundation's headquarters from Delaware to Switzerland in 2019 in an effort to promote the economic and political neutrality of the architecture after US politicians raised concerns about the use of RISC-V by Chinese tech companies. ==References==
