Kathy Yang

Kathy Yang took the helm of Hon Hai Technology Group, better known as Foxconn, in 2025 as the Taiwanese manufacturing giant's rotating CEO, making her the first woman to lead the company. That year, Foxconn reported record revenue of 8.1 trillion New Taiwan dollars ($258 billion), riding the ongoing AI boom and defying headwinds from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. That shift is accelerating: in the second quarter of 2026, Foxconn's AI server business crossed half of revenue for the first time, overtaking the consumer electronics unit that assembles iPhones.  Yang currently serves as Foxconn's chief campus operation officer and head of its AI software business. On April 1, Yang handed the rotating CEO position to Michael Chiang, who heads smart consumer electronics.
