Lee Kuen-yao, Chairman of BenQ

Lee Kuen-yao was born in Taiwan on Sept 10, 1952. He has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from National Taiwan University and an MBA from the International Institute for Management Development in Switzerland. He first joined Acer in 1976 and was promoted to vice general manager after a variety of positions in R&D, manufacturing and marketing. He became the general manager of BenQ in 1991.

Lee ended the BenQ-Siemens Mobile business at the downturn of his career under great pressure. But he took only one year to pull the company out of the unsuccessful acquisition and achieve visible success.

His thoughts on the industry at the time were insightful and he believed the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) in Taiwan could progress only by adding value instead of simply reducing costs. Lee’s innovative management and pioneering spirit have sustained BenQ’s two decades of growth. He has helped BenQ become a World Top 50 Electronics Brand.
