Here are some well-known Chinese American or Chinese-descent tech CEOs in the U.S.:

  • Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA. He is an American of Taiwanese descent.
  • Lisa Su, CEO of AMD. She was born in Tainan, Taiwan, and moved to the U.S. as a child.
  • Hock Tan, CEO of Broadcom. He is an American of Chinese descent, born in Malaysia.
  • Lip-Bu Tan, CEO of Intel. He was born into a Chinese family in Malaysia and later moved to the U.S.

Quick scope

This list is not exhaustive. It reflects prominent examples from U.S. tech and semiconductor leadership, especially companies often discussed in current business coverage.

Notes

People sometimes use “Chinese American” loosely to mean either:

  • Chinese American by ethnicity or family background.
  • Chinese-descent leaders who are U.S.-based but may have been born in Taiwan, Malaysia, or elsewhere.

If you want a stricter list, the category can be narrowed to:

  1. U.S.-born Chinese Americans only.
  2. Chinese-descent CEOs of U.S. tech companies.
  3. A broader list including founders, co-founders, and presidents, not just CEOs.

Examples by company

Intel| Lip-Bu Tan| Born into a Chinese family in Malaysia, later moved to the U.S. 1

If you want, I can turn this into a cleaner “top 10” list with company names and brief bios.
