Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd (HHPD), the Taiwanese electronics manufacturing giant widely known as Foxconn, announced on 12 November 2026 the restructuring of two senior leadership roles as part of its organisational planning. Wu Fu-Mei, formerly Deputy Director-General and Chief Information Security Officer at Taiwan's Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau (MJIB), has been appointed to concurrently serve as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Corporate Governance Officer. The changes took immediate effect on 12 November 2026 and reflect the company's stated operational and governance needs.

Key Points

  • Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd (HHPD) — Taiwanese electronics and manufacturing conglomerate
  • Wu Fu-Mei appointed concurrently as CISO and Corporate Governance Officer, effective 12 November 2026
  • Lee Wei-Bin relieved of the concurrent CISO role; Huang Teh-Tsai relieved of the Corporate Governance Officer position — both changes classified as position adjustments, not resignations
  • Investors may watch how Wu Fu-Mei's regulatory and compliance background influences Hon Hai's governance and cybersecurity strategy

Wu Fu-Mei Assumes Dual CISO and Corporate Governance Role at Hon Hai

Wu Fu-Mei brings a law-enforcement and regulatory background to the dual appointment, having previously served as Deputy Director-General and Chief Information Security Officer at Taiwan's Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau. The announcement states that Wu will concurrently hold the titles of Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Information Security Officer, and Corporate Governance Officer at Hon Hai. This consolidation of compliance, security, and governance responsibilities under a single officer marks a notable structural change in how the company manages its regulatory and information security functions at the executive level.

Lee Wei-Bin and Huang Teh-Tsai Relieved of Concurrent Positions

The announcement confirms that Lee Wei-Bin, who held the concurrent role of CISO alongside his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Hon Hai Research Institute, has been relieved of the CISO responsibility. Separately, Huang Teh-Tsai, who served as Corporate Governance Officer while also holding the title of Chief Financial Officer, has been relieved of the governance role. Both changes are classified as "position adjustments" rather than resignations or departures, indicating that Lee Wei-Bin and Huang Teh-Tsai retain their respective primary executive titles within the organisation.

Hon Hai Cites Organisational Planning as Driver Behind the Restructuring

The company stated that both personnel changes were driven by its "overall organisational planning and operational needs," without providing further elaboration. Hon Hai Precision Industry is one of the world's largest electronics contract manufacturers, supplying major global technology brands and operating extensive production facilities across Asia. The decision to consolidate CISO and corporate governance duties under a single officer with a background in government cybersecurity and investigations may signal a heightened internal focus on information security governance, though the company did not disclose specific strategic objectives linked to this restructuring in the announcement.
