In June 2017, he was appointed Chairman of Inventec Corporation. Mr. Cho retired as Chairman of Inventec Corporation in June 2023 and is currently Inventec's Director and Technology Executive.
His career in product development was in the early years. In 1988, as the chief of the Research and Development department, Mr. Cho led a team to build the smallest Notebook PC in the world for ZDS (Zenith Data Systems). This was the first notebook PC that Inventec ever made. The Zenith minisPORT subnotebook was announced and shipped in 1989, just a year later. In later years, Inventec started its Notebook PC ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) business with the major brands in the world. Besides Notebook PC, Inventec and its subsidiaries also focus on servers, handheld devices, IoT, and AI devices. Innovation, Quality, Open Mind, and Execution are the company’s beliefs and guidelines that Mr. Cho uses to manage the company. Inventec always develops new technologies, focuses on qualities, keeps taking advice from others, and makes correct efforts right away.
