CK Tseng is Vice President of Global Physical AI & North America Sales at Arm, responsible for Sales, Business Development, and Field Engineering in North America, as well as global customer engagements in the Physical AI sector. He has more than 20 years of professional experience in the high-tech industry.
CK joined Arm in 2010 as a Business Development and Sales Manager, leading strategic initiatives and business engagements with key partners ranging from silicon partners to OEMs. He later joined the start-up M2COMM as Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing, focusing on innovative IoT applications across the industrial, retail, and medical sectors. He also managed the company’s overseas subsidiaries and helped drive more than 10x revenue growth in two years.
In 2017, CK rejoined Arm as Senior Director, leading the Sales and Field Applications Engineering (FAE) teams in Taiwan. He was promoted to Vice President of Sales in 2018 and became President of Arm Taiwan in 2019. In 2024, he was named President of Arm Taiwan and ASEAN. At the end of 2024, CK relocated to California to take on additional responsibility for North America. In April 2026, he transitioned from his Taiwan and ASEAN leadership responsibilities to an expanded role overseeing North America Sales and Arm’s global customer engagements in the Physical AI sector.
CK holds a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering and a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from National Taiwan University (NTU).
Beyond his role at Arm, CK serves as a member of the Curriculum Committee at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU), where he brings an industry perspective to discussions on the future of education. He advocates for more flexible and interdisciplinary curricula that enable students to explore beyond traditional academic boundaries and better adapt to a rapidly changing world. He also encourages the thoughtful integration of AI into teaching and learning, exploring how AI can enhance—not replace—the role of educators while helping students develop critical thinking, creativity, and the ability to learn continuously in the AI era.
CK also serves as an Independent Director of ADLINK Technology, where he contributes to the company’s long-term strategy and corporate governance. His responsibilities include providing guidance on the company’s five-year strategic planning, overseeing executive compensation and incentive structures, and emphasizing strong corporate governance, compliance, and responsible business practices. During his tenure as an Independent Director, ADLINK has demonstrated strong business momentum, including significant year-over-year revenue growth in 2026, as the company continues to pursue opportunities in Edge AI and Physical AI.
Outside of work, CK is a lifelong learner who enjoys exploring new ideas and experiences. He has played badminton and table tennis since childhood and now also enjoys cycling, running, swimming, golf, and pickleball. An avid reader, he increasingly uses digital platforms such as YouTube to explore AI, emerging technologies, industry trends, and new ideas.

Global Alliance for Taiwan Technology and Diplomacy
全球台灣科技外交聯盟
Overview
The Coalition for the Global Alliance for Taiwan Technology and Diplomacy (GATTD)—commonly known as the Global Alliance for Taiwan Technology and Diplomacy—is an international organization based in Silicon Valley. Founded and driven by Taiwanese technology executives, engineers, researchers, and global policy advocates, GATTD serves as a strategic bridge between Taiwan's tech ecosystem and the international diplomatic and economic community.
Mission and Core Focus
GATTD operates at the intersection of "tech diplomacy" and geopolitics. Recognizing Taiwan’s critical position at the center of global semiconductor manufacturing and artificial intelligence innovation, the organization aims to translate technological capability into geopolitical strength, international partnerships, and democratic resilience.
Key pillars of GATTD’s mission include:
Tech Diplomacy: Promoting policy dialogue, cross-border industry partnerships, and public report publishing on emerging tech topics such as AI safety, policy frameworks, and semiconductor supply chain strategy.
Democratic Safeguards: Strengthening technological collaboration between Taiwan, the United States, and global democratic allies to safeguard shared democratic values and supply chain security.
Global Ecosystem Building: Bridging Taiwanese industry talent and organizations—such as the North America Taiwanese Engineering & Science Association (NATEA)—with international think tanks, governments, media, and tech summits.
