Acer Inc’s (宏碁) Build Your Own Cloud (BYOC) chief architect Stan Shih (施振榮) plans to pass on his post to his son Maverick Shih (施宣輝) next year, the Chinese-language Next Magazine reported yesterday.

“Acer chairman George Huang (黃少華) is to retire and chief executive officer Jason Chen (陳俊聖) is double as chairman next year, and I will handover my post to Maverick in one year,” the magazine quoted Stan Shih as saying.

Stan Shih, founder and former chairman of Acer, retired from the company for the first time in 2004 and briefly returned as chairman in 2013, after Acer posted losses in 2011 and 2012.

Shih handed over the chairmanship to Huang in June 2014 and has been the chief architect of the company’s cloud-computing business since then.     [FULL  STORY]
