Lip-Bu Tan (born 1960 in Malaysia) is an executive and entrepreneur presently the President and CEO of Cadence Design Systems and Chairman of Walden International, a venture capital firm.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

He was a graduate student in nuclear engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1970s but the Three Mile Island accident caused a sharp reduction in opportunities in that industry, so instead he studied for an MBA from the University of San Francisco, and founded Walden International. He named the firm after the book Walden by Henry David Thoreau because Tan's goal was to be like Thoreau: "contrarian, rather than just following the trend."[10]

Tan is a member of the 2014-2015 Term Board of Trustees at Carnegie Mellon University.[11]
