Eugene Chang has over 30 years developing and bringing high technology products to market. As an engineer at a research company, he was quickly dissatisfied in building 10 or 100 units to demonstrate new research results. His passion is to see mass adoption of new technology.

Some of these projects shaped new standards as part of the evolution from proprietary technology to market standard (ANSI/ITU, IEEE802.11, Trusted Computing Group/TNC, Wi-Fi Alliance). He has travelled widely and has spoken at many conferences shaping how the market views the technology of his products. He is recognized as an expert in networking, security, Wi-Fi, and other wireless solutions. Through an acquisition, he was last a member of Cisco's CTO Group supporting the Wireless and Security Technology Group where he contributed to product architectures, reviewed proposals for new solutions, was a member of the patent committee, and represented Cisco at the IETF and the Wi-Fi Alliance. He is now consulting and working on several startup projects.
