Information about the Entrepreneur
IBASE Chairman, Mr. Lin Chiu-Shi (CS Lin), was born in a remote village in the Yunlin countryside of the Mailiao Township in Taiwan. He grew up as a child of a farmer in a challenging environment that molded his character and inspired him to start a business.
CS studied at Yunlin Sacred Hearts Junior High School, lived on campus for three years, and developed an independent personality. After graduating from junior high school, he was admitted to study at the National Tainan First Senior High School and National Kaohsiung Institute of Technology (now National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology). He chose the latter without hesitation, hoping to enter the workplace early to support his family. The school motto of NKIT was simple and can be summarized in the words—magnificent, perseverance, proficiency, and diligence, which became deeply imprinted in his mind, and he has not forgotten them for decades as these words not only represent the school but also the students. Eventually, these virtues became important values in the workplace.
Due to his poor background, he always maintained a hardworking and positive attitude. Stepping into the workplace, CS started as an engineer and has worked in well-known companies such as Shin Kong Security, SAMPO, and TMC. He gradually accumulated professional experience and knowledge from TMC Taiwan, a publicly well-known motherboard manufacturer, for over 10 years and rose in ranks from an engineer, section head, deputy manager, manager, factory director to senior vice president. He laid the foundation for entrepreneurship, meeting the right people and likeminded work partners to realize his entrepreneurial dream.
