About Al Yuen

Experienced technologist running startup to Fortune 100 technology and product development teams. I have been fortunate to experience many roles in my career from summer intern to startup CEO and many roles in between.I am a founder of Alvesta Co, Zilowatt LLC, and Solar Co-Up LLC. Three of my ideas helped to accelerate the growth of the internet: the active optical cable (AOC), quad-based optical transceiver (precursor to today's QSFP), and vertical oxidation for high-volume manufacturing of VCSELs for optical communication and 3D sensing. Over 50 patents in the optical communication space. Established mentorship and executive training programs while at HP, Alvesta, JDSU, and Lumentum.I am using my time currently to help develop the next generation of diverse executive leadership, mentor university students interested in tech, and serving on the Boards of UC Santa Barbara, Brainy Monkey, and StartUC.
