ARM CHINA’S EX-CEO Allen Wu shot to fame after refusing to step down despite being fired by the company in 2020 and again in 2022. His actions meant that parent company SoftBank Group couldn’t perform financial audits for around two years. Eventually, a combination of corporate maneuvering and tacit assistance from the Shenzhen government resulted in Wu being ousted in 2023.
According to WeChat account ‘Chip Inside’, Wu is founding a company named ‘Zongzhi Chip’. This is rumored to be actively recruiting both RISC-V professionals and Arm China employees.
