_Technology sector leadership showcases Asia’s formidable strength_

TAIPEI, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Reflecting responsibilities that sit at the
intersection of the physical industrial world and the AI world for the largest electronics
manufacturer and AI server provider on the planet, Kathy Yang of Hon Hai Technology
Group (Foxconn) (TWSE:2317) has been recognized in Most Powerful Women Asia 2026
by Fortune, for a second year.

As General Manager of Global Campus Operations and Head of AI Software Business 
and AI Infrastructure for Foxconn, Yang joins 16 honorees from technology, the most
represented sector in this year’s prestigious list, ahead of banking with 14. Their
presence reflects the increasingly central role technology plays in Asia’s economy,
as businesses spanning digital platforms, advanced manufacturing and other technology-
driven industries grow in scale and influence.

"What stands out in this year’s ranking is how the landscape of business power in
Asia is evolving," said Charmian Choo, Asia list Senior Manager. "We see established
leaders continuing to shape some of the region’s largest companies, alongside a 
new generation rising through the ranks. The prominence of technology is particularly
striking, reflecting the sector’s growing influence on Asia’s economy and the women
increasingly at the forefront of that transformation."

"Women in leadership play an important role in the AI industrial revolution. The
real challenge is not deploying technology, but redesigning work, investing in reskilling,
and helping our global talent of women and men evolve with it," said Foxconn’s Yang,
whose remit includes Foxconn’s more than 240 sites across 24 countries. "Five years
from now, the best factories will not simply be the most automated, but those where
humans, AI and robots make one another better."

Earlier this year, Yang was recognized among Fortune’s [Most Powerful Women in Business 2026](https://www.honhai.com/en-us/press-center/events/csr-events/2037).
Her work combines Foxconn’s global manufacturing scale, engineering capabilities
and operational know-how with software, data, computing infrastructure and AI.

Yang previously served as Foxconn’s Rotating CEO, the first woman to hold the role,
during which she focused on strengthening enterprise-wide execution, cross-business
alignment, and governance discipline across one of the world’s largest and most 
complex industrial organizations. She is concurrently a Board Director of Foxconn
Industrial Internet (FII) and Chairwoman and CEO of JUSDA, both key units of Foxconn.
