This handover symbolizes the maturity and stability of Foxconn's senior CEO team training system and is also an important milestone for the group towards institutionalized operation and expert-based governance.
After officially stepping down as rotating CEO, Yang Qiujin stated at the handover ceremony, "The rotating CEO system is not just about job rotation but also a very important step in the institutionalization of the group's governance capabilities."

We continuously strengthen the group's operational structure through a 'debugging ' mindset and the construction of a methodology , allowing talent development and system establishment to proceed in parallel." The continued promotion of the rotating CEO system demonstrates the group's ability to ensure stable operation and sustainable growth under its global layout by cultivating talent and innovating systems in the face of the challenges of the AI era.
Upon assuming the role of rotating CEO , Chiang Chi-heng stated, "Taking on this position is a heavy responsibility." He pointed out that the past two years of rotating CEO operations have clarified the group's governance model, deepened the interaction between business units and central units, and clarified the future corporate governance development path, laying a solid foundation for the group's system.
Regarding his upcoming year-long term, Chiang Chi-heng outlined two core directions: "First, leverage the advantages of our background in a business unit to excel as CEO, assist the company in expanding its operations, and substantially improve profitability. Second, continuously refine corporate governance, build an expert team, and dedicate the next year to constructing a complete and systematic know-how , focusing on the actual needs of business units and maintaining global leading competitiveness through resource adjustments and precise risk control."
