Colley Hwang is a media executive, a veteran ICT analyst and a best-selling author.
What distinguish him from other media personnel and analysts is not just the 35
years of experience under his belt, but also his wide and close connections with
many key persons in the ICT industry and government sector – his stint on the board
of directors at Asia's top electronics components distributor WPG Holdings and his
role as an adviser to Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs being just some of the
examples showing his stature.
With support from several heavyweights in Taiwan's IT and semiconductor sectors,
Hwang founded DIGITIMES in 1998. It is a unique news portal and media platform
dedicated to coverage of the global ICT supply chain, with a strong focus on Taiwan
and China, and their partnerships with clients around the world. Despite its close
ties to and support from many of the heavyweights in the industry, DIGITIMES, under
Hwang's leadership, is an independent, impartial and reliable source of information
on the ICT ecosystem.
Hwang is highly regarded among Taiwan's ICT industry leaders and the general public
for his opinions, a fact demonstrated by his best-selling books. He has published
nine books so far, the latest being Disconnected ICT Supply Chains: New Power Plays
Unfolding, a timely response to COVID-19 and an insightful analysis of the
post-pandemic tensions that everyone in the ICT industry faces. Having lived in the
US and studied in South Korea, the Taiwan-based Hwang, who speaks Chinese, English
and Korean, demonstrates a sensitivity, perspective and awareness that are seldom
seen in other analysts and journalists.
As an analyst, Hwang has rendered consulting services to many top-tier international
ICT firms such as Microsoft, TSMC, Foxconn, AUO, UMC, Acer, Lenovo, Samsung, Huawei,
BOE, Applied Materials, Synopsys, Rohm, and Epson. He has served as an adviser to
many local governments and organizations, including the Ministry of Economic Affairs
and Taipei City. Prior to founding DIGITIMES, Hwang led Taiwan's Market Intelligence
Center (MIC). He has also served on the boards of directors at WPG Holdings, Taiwan
Taoyuan International Airport, China Aviation Development Foundation, TAITRA and
Sinocon Industrial Standards Foundation.
