PLANO, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) today announced that Dr. Keh-Shew Lu has retired as Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective immediately, following more than 25 years of distinguished service to the Company. The Board of Directors has elected Ms. Angie Chen Button to serve as Chairwoman of the Board.
Retirement of Dr. Keh-Shew Lu
Dr. Lu joined Diodes in June 2005, when the Company had annual revenue of approximately $215 million. Over the course of his tenure, Dr. Lu played a central role in scaling the business by more than 500%, establishing Diodes as a leading, multibillion-dollar semiconductor company. Under his leadership, the Company successfully completed ten strategic acquisitions, navigated multiple industry cycles, including a global pandemic, and maintained a record of consistent profitability now spanning 34 consecutive years.
“Dr. Lu’s contributions to Diodes over the past two decades have shaped this Company in lasting ways,” stated Gary Yu, CEO and President of Diodes Incorporated. “On behalf of the entire Board and our global workforce, we extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Lu for his exceptional service and leadership.”
Election of Angie Chen Button as Chairwoman
Following Dr. Lu’s retirement, the Board has elected Ms. Angie Chen Button as Chairwoman of the Board. Ms. Button joined the Diodes Board in April 2021 as an independent director and has served as Lead Director since May 2023, during which time she has helped strengthen independent Board oversight, facilitated effective communication between independent directors and management, and advanced the Board’s focus on strategic priorities and long-term value creation. She previously served as Chair of both the Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee and the Compensation Committee.
Ms. Button brings a unique combination of industry, financial, and public-sector experience to the role. She has served in the Texas House of Representatives since 2009 and currently chairs the Trade, Workforce, and Economic Development Committee. Her legislative career has included leadership of multiple key committees as well as service on budget and taxation committees. She has been recognized as a “Top 10 Best Legislator” by Texas Monthly in both 2021 and 2023 and has received several distinguished leadership awards.
Earlier in her career, Ms. Button spent over 30 years at Texas Instruments in roles spanning audit, finance, procurement, business development, and international marketing.
