Huw graduated with a BSc in the UK and has lived in Japan since 1995. After gaining language experience with Japanese local government, he worked for five years as a software and marketing engineer for Sanyo Semiconductor Company with a focus on semiconductor, RFID and biometric technologies. While at Sanyo, he was the only westerner invited to join a Sanyo spin-off company to manage a number of high-profile projects, such as the supply of a security card and surveillance system for the 2003 WTO conference in Mexico.

Since joining Intralink, Huw has worked with a variety of display and semiconductor technologies and has experience of licensing intellectual property to tier-1 OEMs in the consumer electronics, automotive and telecoms sectors. He has been instrumental in securing some high-profile deals for our UK- and US-based clients, particularly in the telecom sector where he has closed deals with major Japanese OEMs worth millions of dollars. Huw has also developed and implemented successful ‘turn-around’ strategies for clients whose sales through existing distribution channels have stagnated or gone into decline, and executed go-to-market strategies for clients with disruptive technologies in the growing eBook, touchscreen and OLED spaces.

Huw is the Managing Director of Intralink Japan and also heads the CE, Semiconductor and Displays team in the company's Tokyo office.
