⭐Our Visibility Series continues and today we are thrilled to feature Mingyu(Jewel) Qu ,Director of Strategic Marketing for Connectivity and Timing Products, and Director of SOC Partnerships at Diodes Incorporated. ⭐
Let's learn a little more on Mingyu's journey!
My journey into the semiconductor industry began as a power electronics engineer, where my fascination with semiconductors was sparked by the challenge of understanding how these tiny components could drive significant advancements in technology. I spent over eight years working hands-on with design circuits and boards, immersing myself in the practical application of semiconductors and deepening my understanding of their behavior. The more I worked, the more I realized the transformative power semiconductors hold in revolutionizing industries and daily life.
When I joined STMicroelectronics, I transitioned from being a user to a supplier, which gave me a holistic perspective on the semiconductor industry. As I worked in advanced marketing for the Mobile segment in China, I gained insights into product definition and strategic partnerships, allowing me to witness firsthand the impact of semiconductors on innovation. My work involved bridging the gap between manufacturing and applications, spanning sectors like power, consumer, computing, telecom, industrial, and automotive. This experience enriched my knowledge of the industry and equipped me with the ability to think strategically about its future.
What I love most about my work is the endless opportunities for growth and innovation. The semiconductor industry is ever-evolving, and being a part of that dynamic shift keeps me excited and inspired. One of my proudest accomplishments has been leading initiatives at CASPA - Chinese American Semiconductor Professional Assoc., where I served as the third woman president. In my inaugural speech, I launched three key initiatives: Women in Semiconductors, Young Professionals, and Sustainability. These initiatives aim to cultivate future leaders, promote diversity, and drive sustainable practices in the industry. Through CASPA, I’ve had the privilege to influence and mentor the next generation of semiconductor leaders, fostering an inclusive environment where innovation thrives.
I have been fortunate to receive tremendous guidance and support throughout my journey. Jodi Shelton, in particular, has been an inspiring leader, showing me how to champion women in this industry and navigate the challenges of leadership with confidence and grace. Her leadership has been instrumental in shaping my efforts to drive diversity and empower women in semiconductors.
