When Vivian Chua started at HP, then Hewlett-Packard, the year was 1999 and the technology industry was gearing up for an era of profound change.
With a new millennium around the corner, the market braced for the impact of Y2K, music file sharing network Napster was launched, Compaq was fighting for survival and Microsoft faced off against AOL in all-out chat war.
During this time, Vivian Chua started at Hewlett-Packard, holding a business development role before assuming a product-focused position in the Personal Systems team - a modest entrance ahead of what would be a sharp rise up the company ranks.
