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.
