The Local Face of Sun in China
An Interview with Sin-Yaw Wang and Melanie Gao, Sun Engineering and Research Institute, Beijing

Interviewed by Rebecca Ray, Managing Editor, LISA

Sun was one of the earlier companies in Silicon Valley to really focus on globalization and to set up teams and workflow to do it professionally. In the following interview, Sin-Yaw Wang (Vice President of Sun’s Global Engineering Organization) and Melanie Gao (Senior Manager in charge of Sun’s Asia Globalization Center in Beijing) share how Sun has integrated China into its globalization strategy. Wang explains his role as a U.S.-style “Dorm Director” for the China Team and his strategy for evangelizing open source in China. Gao shares the challenges she has encountered in building the team that localizes Sun’s software products into Simplified and Traditional Chinese and Korean and how her people are becoming the local face of Sun in China.
