Red Hat VP Michael Chen: Building a Strategy for China

Published October 31st, 2007



As an intern at Red Hat in 2003, Michael Chen was no gofer. He didn’t fetch coffee or make copies. He helped craft the Raleigh, N.C., software company’s strategy for entering the Chinese market. Soon after earning an MBA from UNC-Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, he headed to Beijing to oversee Red Hat’s operations in the greater China region. I met Chen, who grew up in Chengdu, a city in China’s southwestern Sichuan province, while reporting in Beijing last year.
