Cher Wang honoured as one of the most powerful women in tech

The tech industry has a reputation for being male-dominated, but there are at least ten women who wield a lot of power in the sector, including VIA's chairman, Cher Wang.

"Wang represents Taiwan on the APEC Business Advisory Council and HTC is an industry partner of the World Economic Forum. A devout Christian, she was ranked the 276th richest person in the world, with an estimated personal wealth of $4 billion, by Forbes Magazine, which describes her as “the most powerful woman in wireless.” “Her impetus for starting HTC was to develop hardware products that foster easier, more efficient communication. She’s led HTC in approaching development from the perspective of creating a holistic experience with a focus on personal choice, observing and listening to create products that cater to a perceived consumer desire,” says Leighton." - Source.
