Lisa T. Su was born in Tainan, Taiwan in November of 1969 and emigrated to the United States around the age of 2. Both she and her brother were encouraged to study math and science as children, and she was seven when her father, a retired statistician, began quizzing her on multiplication tables. Her mother, an accountant who later became an entrepreneur, introduced her to business concepts. At a young age she aspired to be an engineer, explaining “I just had a great curiosity about how things worked.” She was 10 when she began taking apart and then fixing her brother’s remote control cars, and she owned her first computer in junior high school, an Apple II. She attended the Bronx High School of Science in New York City, graduating in 1986.
