Marc Taxay, who previously served as General Counsel at Arista Networks Inc. for over a decade, has been appointed as the new Chief Legal Officer at Cadence Design Systems Inc. Cadence, known for providing design tools essential for developing semiconductor technology used in applications like generative artificial intelligence, made the announcement shortly after Taxay’s resignation from Arista on May 7, 2025. According to a securities filing, Taxay concluded his tenure at Arista before moving to Cadence, where his profile has now been added to their leadership roster.
At Arista, a key player in the computer networking sector, Taxay oversaw legal matters during a transformative period marked by the company’s growth in the industry. During his departure, he reportedly sold approximately $14 million in company stock. His transition to Cadence highlights the increasing convergence of talent across major technology and semiconductor sectors. For further details, visit the original article on Bloomberg Law.
