Reporting to Lai Yit Loong, Chan brings over 17 years of semiconductor sales experience to the role, including positions such as vice president of foundry outsourcing for Huahong International; vice president of SMIC's America unit; senior account manager for TSMC North America and various senior technical positions at Intel and Micron Technology.
