His current interests include assisting entrepreneurs and investors in starting and building successful businesses. Chun started to incubate NetScreen Technologies Inc. (NSCN) in late 1997 by forming and shaping the company, raising funds, and building the management team. He then brought NetScreen to us.

Mr. Chiu started his career as an IC Design Engineer, with involvement in developing the industry's first single chip calculator and watch in the early 1970s. Subsequently, he led a team to develop and introduce EPROM products. In 1976, he joined Hewlett-Packard, and engaged in the development of personal computer chips. In 1980, he co-founded Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDTI), where he developed hi-speed, low-power CMOS static RAM, as well as hi-speed DSP chips such as the 16-bit multiplier/accumulator. In 1986, while still at IDT, he switched tracks from engineering to business, and successfully established the Asia-Pacific market, as well as penetrating a tough Japanese market. In 1988, he left IDT and founded Quality Semiconductor Inc. (QSI), where he served as President, CEO, and Chairman. He brought QSI to its IPO in 1994, and eventually merged QSI into IDT in 1999.
