In the latest episode of HARMAN’s interview series “The Next Wave,” Young Sohn sat down with friend, colleague and fellow Founding Managing Partner of Walden Catalyst Ventures, Lip-Bu Tan. During their fireside chat, the two technology and venture capital veterans discussed the current state of both sectors – including what Tan called the five-generation wave. As our Chairman echoes in the conversation, HARMAN believes that customer experience will play a big role for organizations in the technology sector this year. Young highlighted the customer experience when he discussed his 4 C’s – coronavirus, cloud, chips and the consumer.
Both visionaries also highlighted the importance of data in today’s digital world. As part of this data wave, they discussed the rise of biology 2.0 – the combination of biology and the IT world. HARMAN has been addressing the increased investments in digital health, data analytics and AI as well through its Digital Transformation Services business unit, where we deliver intuitive experiences that complement real human needs. Like Young and Lip-Bu, we believe that data, technology and innovation have the capability to change our daily lives for the better.
Lip-Bu Tan is Chairman and Founder of Walden International and a Founding Managing Partner at Walden Catalyst Ventures and Celesta Capital. Tan has been active in the venture capital industry for over two decades and he introduced and pioneered the U.S. venture capital concept in Asia and contributed towards the promotion of early-stage technology investing in the Asia-Pacific region.
Tan concurrently serves as Executive Chairman of Cadence Design Systems, Inc. after stepping down from CEO in December 2021, and has been a member of the Cadence Board of Directors since 2004. Tan serves on a number of boards across various industries – including Softbank Group, Schneider Electric SE, and SambaNova Systems.
