Broadcom chief Hock Tan seeks more acquisitions after $69bn VMware deal

Hock Tan, the executive who built Broadcom into a $250bn tech giant through a series of bold acquisitions, has signalled more dealmaking after his $69bn move for VMware, as the 71-year-old signs on for another five years as chief.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Tan said Broadcom would still look at semiconductor acquisitions, even after its hostile $142bn bid for Qualcomm, was blocked in 2018 by then-US President Donald Trump.
