Employee profile
I enjoy innovating when…
I am participating in the Innovation Forum—
nurturing innovation and creation at our
Shanghai site. My goal is to help others
realize their ideas and turn those ideas into
products. In the past two years, we have
submitted over 100 disclosures and pat-
ents. It’s inspiring to see the makers spirit
thriving within HP.
My favorite part of working at
HP is...
Meet Haven Zhu,
Hardware Development
Manager, LaserJet
Printer Team
Technology changed the course of Haven’s
life. As a child growing up in Wuxi, a small
town outside of Shanghai, China, he never
had access to a computer. Watching dramatic
technological advances unfold before his
eyes, Haven was inspired to pursue a future in
technology. He is now responsible for manag-
ing an experienced team of mechanical and
electrical engineers who continually improve
and deliver LaserJet hardware design.
I pursue my passions at HP
every day.
The collaboration opportunities. I recently
attended the B.I.L Program at Stanford
University. Not only did I receive a great
education from the professors, but I was
also able to collaborate with HP’s greatest
talents. Ten years after completing my
Graduate work at the Robotics Research
Institute, it was exhilarating to return to the
world of robotics.
In the next issue:
Blended Reality –
HP 3D Printing
and beyond!
Bringing together the physical
and digital worlds is the essence
of HP’s “Blended Reality” inno-
vation. Blended Reality is central
to our strategy for thriving in
tomorrow’s world, as it is shaped
by developments including the
megatrends
covered
in
this
issue. Blended Reality describes
a world where inputs and outputs
are seamless and intuitive, and our
digital environments mirror the 3D
physical landscape around us.

INVENTING THE BLENDED WORLD OF TOMORROW
HP has allowed me to achieve my
dreams.
I’ve been fortunate enough to work on
ground-breaking projects and push myself
to solve real-world problems every day. My
proudest moments are when I walk through
a retail store with my daughter. I can show
her products on the shelf that I designed—
that is a huge gift that HP has given me.
When I graduated high school, my passion
was engineering. To further that passion,
I attended Shanghai JiaoTong University
and completed Graduate School at the
Robotics Research Institute. I could have
never dreamed that I could work at HP—a
world-class technology company that’s
contributing to a better future.
I’ve worked at HP for 9 years.
I began as a mechanical engineer and then
after five years, I became a project manager
for HP LaserJet business. LaserJet is the
high end segment in the whole HP portfolio.
I am thankful to be part of the team where
we are constantly pushing ourselves to build
more affordable, reliable, and high quality
laser printers. Knowing our customers are
getting faster, cheaper and quieter printers
from HP is the best reward to our innovative
work at HP.
