He have been based in the Silicon Valley for over 40 years, starting in 1971, when he joined a start-up company, Cal-Tex Semiconductor Inc. He was one of the starting members involved in developing the industry’s first single-chip memory calculator. Between 1971-1980, Mr. Chiu had also worked at Nitron, AMI, and the Hewlett-Packard Co., engaged in the design and development of calculators, DRAM, non-volatile memory, and PC chip sets,

In 1980, together with other Taiwanese HP alumnus, Mr. Chiu co-founded Integrated Device Technology (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI).  The team brought IDT to its IPO in 1984, and two years later, Mr. Chiu switched his career path from engineering to sales and marketing, in charge of developing the Japan and Far East markets. During this time, he established IDT K.K. in Tokyo, and successfully penetrated a tough Japanese market.

After leaving IDT in 1988, Mr. Chiu then went on to co-founded Quality Semiconductor Inc (QSI) in 1989, focusing on developing user-friendly logic, specialty memory, and networking chips. As President, CEO, and Chairman of QSI, he leads the company to its IPO in 1994. In 1999, Mr. Chiu retired, when QSI merged with IDT.

Since 1995, Mr. Chiu has also invested in many high-tech companies as an angel investor. In addition to fundraising, Mr. Chiu also assists and advises start-ups in building up their companies. One of his most significant successes to date, is working as a board member and advisor with NetScreen Technology Inc. – a network security start-up that went to its IPO (2001) in less than 4 years with a $1.2 billion valuation. He was also board member of Protego Networks (Acquired by CISCO in 2005), Provilla Networks (Acquired by Trend Micro in 2007) and Azalea Networks (Acquired by Aruba Networks in 2010). He is now involved in several private companies and Venture Capital firms, as a board member or advisor. He was on the advisory board for AsiaTech , Technology Associates, and Global Alliance (Japan). He is currently a senior advisor of InnoBridge Capital Management.

He was also invited to be a member of the Auditing Board (監事) of ITRI (工研院)in Taiwan from 2006 to 2008, as well as a Board member of the North America ITRI between 2008 to 2015.

Mr. Chiu has also been involved with a few technical organizations.

Between 1996 to1999, he was a board member of the “Monte Jade Technology Association”, and he was also a founding member of the “North American Taiwanese American Engineering Association” (NATEA) in 1991. In 2003, Mr. Chiu co-founded the “Silicon Valley Taiwanese American Industrial Technology Association” (TAITA-SV), and served as its President between 2003-2005.

He was invited to the “National Policy Advisor to the President of Taiwan” in 2016, helping Taiwan’s  high tech industry connecting to the Silicon Valley.

Mr. Chiu was born and raised in Taiwan, and moved to Japan during his high school years. He later graduated from Waseda University (早稲田大学) in 1964 with BSEE, and a MSEE focus on Power System operation in1966. After working in Japan for a few years, he moved to the US, where he received a MSEE from Oregon State University.
