Pipkin, Chet — Belkin International Inc
Chief Executive
Belkin International Inc.
THE LATEST: At CES in January, Belkin released a slew of new products, including a range of wireless chargers, cutting-edge Linksys-branded routers and other devices optimized for the latest Wi-Fi 6 wireless specification, smart plugs and other IoT devices under its Wemo brand, and new additions to its line of AI-powered water efficiency Phyn sensors. In May, Belkin announced that it was teaming up with the engineering school at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champlain to design the FlexVent, a gas-operated, disposable emergency ventilator for Covid-19 patients.
BACKGROUND: Following the March 2018 sale of his company to Taiwanese manufacturing giant Foxconn Technology Co., Pipkin has continued to operate Belkin as a subsidiary. Belkin also operates through a number of brands, including Linksys, which it acquired in 2013 from Cisco, Wemo, which makes connected webcams, light bulbs, and outlet meters for the growing smart home market, and Phyn, a smart water assistant for home and commercial use.
