Staff
Current staff at the US-Taiwan Business Council (USTBC).
Keith Krach
Keith Krach currently serves as the Chairman of Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue University, and Co-Chairman of the nonpartisan Global Tech Security Commission. He most recently served as Under Secretary of State leading America’s economic diplomacy and having the rare distinction of being unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
As the nation’s top economic diplomat, Krach led the development of the bipartisan Global Economic Security Strategy; built the Clean Network Alliance of Democracies–defeated CCP’s 5G masterplan; spearheaded the TSMC onshoring in which resulted in $350B investment in domestic semiconductor manufacturing; primary architect for the bipartisan $280B CHIPS and Science Act; drove divestment in CCP companies to protect investors from unknowingly funding CCP military; championed the human rights by mobilizing action against CCP’s genocide in Xinjiang; and bolstered U.S.-Taiwan ties as the highest-ranking State Department official to visit in 41 years. As a result, Krach and his family were sanctioned by the CCP.
Krach served as DocuSign Chairman & CEO for 10 years; Ariba co-founder, Chairman & CEO; Chairman of Purdue’s Board of Trustees; Angie’s List Board Chairman; founder of the Global Mentor Network; 2000 E&Y National Entrepreneur of the Year, 2019 Harvard Business School Leader of the Year and youngest-ever Vice President of GM. Krach holds a B.S. and Honorary Doctorate in Engineering from Purdue, and MBA from Harvard.
Rupert Hammond-Chambers

In April 1993, he joined The Center for Security Policy, a defense and foreign policy think tank in Washington, D.C., as the Associate for Development. The Center accomplishes its goals by stimulating and informing national and international policy debates, particularly those involving regional, defense, economic, financial, and technology developments that bear upon the security of the United States.
He began working for the US-Taiwan Business Council in October 1994. In March of 1998, he was promoted to Vice President of the Council with additional responsibilities for office management, oversight of the staff, financial bookkeeping and a clear mandate to build out the Council’s member/client base.
Mr. Hammond-Chambers was elected President of the Council in November 2000. As the trade relationship between the United States, Taiwan and China continues to evolve, he has worked to develop the Council’s role as a strategic partner to its members, with the continuing goal of positioning the Council as a leader in empowering American companies in Asia through value and excellence.
Mr. Hammond-Chambers is also the Managing Director, Taiwan for Bower Group Asia – a strategic consultancy focused on designing winning strategies for companies. He is also responsible for Bower Group Asia’s defense and security practice.
