Foxconn tycoon Terry Gou announces his bid for Taiwan presidency
Terry Gou, founder and chairman of Apple supplier Foxconn, has stepped down from leading his company to contest Taiwan’s 2020 presidential election.
The announcement came just two days after Gou told Reuters he was considering stepping away from daily operations at the company to pave the way for younger talent to move up the company’s ranks. His son, second-generation Jeffery Gou, has worked in various roles within the company.
