Joe Liu currently leads strategy and operations at MivaTek, a smart home and healthcare service company.
MivaTek changes the way people protect their loved ones, property, and possessions with solutions that integrate connected devices, cloud backup, and complete control from a single mobile app.
The name MivaTek, shorthand for “Mobile
Interactive Video Assurance Technology,” alludes to the mobile-enabled, video-integrated focus at the heart of MivaTek’s core product offerings.
Despite MivaTek’s status as a Silicon Valley startup, MivaTek products and solutions are the product of five years of R&D.
Prior to launching MivaTek in 2015, Liu co-founded and led California-based Oplink Communications, Inc., an optical network company. When Koch Industries/Molex acquired Oplink Communications in 2014, Liu led a team of investors and purchased the Oplink Connected portfolio back from Koch/Molex and used this technology to power MivaTek solutions.
Liu’s background includes engineering and serial entrepreneurship. After earning his Master of Science degree in Industrial Engineering at California State University, Chico, he worked for companies including Mostek Semiconductor, Motorola Semiconductor, and National Semi.
As his first entrepreneurial project, Liu formed Techlink Equipment and Technology in 1985, specializing in semiconductor capital equipment. He went on to co-found BCD Semiconductor, Vertex Networks, Syscan Systems, PMC Semiconductor, AAC Semi, and Integrated Silicon Solutions Inc.
