He started his career at Fujitsu in process technology and device physics and eventually became the VP & GM of Worldwide ASIC and Foundry business. At Samsung, he was a VP for Marketing focusing in the Japan region. He has started at Kilopass and will be located in Japan.

“I am thrilled to have attracted such a world-class business and operational talent as Yamazaki-san,” said Charlie Cheng, president and CEO of Kilopass Technology Inc. “He brings several valuable assets to the company: his strategic relationship building expertise especially in Japan, where Kilopass already has several major partners and customers, his insights into Samsung-s management approaches and success; and finally his extensive global experience and contacts in the other regions critical to our growth: Taiwan, Israel, China, and the United States.”

Tatsuya Yamazaki began his career as a process control and device physics engineer with Fujitsu, Ltd.
