I'm Alex Heath, deputy editor at The Verge, filling in for Neli while we finish out the year here on the show. On another recent episode, I teased an interview with the CEO of chip design company Arm, and today we have that interview for you.

I sat down live in Silicon Valley earlier this month with Arm's CEO Renee Haas at an event hosted by Alex Partners. It was a really fun conversation and I think you're going to like it.
