Young Liu

Founder and Executive

Young-Way Liu, known as Young Liu, was born in 1956 and is a Taiwanese business executive who serves as chairman and president of Foxconn, formally Hon Hai Precision Industry. He was appointed in June 2019, after the retirement of the company's founder, Terry Gou, in what was the first time Foxconn separated ownership from professional executive management at its top level. Liu earned a bachelor's degree in electrophysics from National Chiao Tung University in 1978, a master's in computer engineering from the University of Southern California in 1986 and a doctorate from his first university. He joined Foxconn in 2007 and led its semiconductor and research initiatives before becoming its head. As chief executive he promoted a strategy built on electric vehicles, digital health and robotics, and in 2024 India awarded him the Padma Bhushan for trade and industry.
