Ms. Lai Yuen Chiang graduated from the world-renowned Wellesley College in the U.S. in 1988, the same all-female institution attended by Hillary Clinton, Bing Xin, and Soong May-ling. After returning to China from her studies in the U.S., she immediately joined Chen Hsong.
Her outlook on life and values were deeply influenced by her father, who cultivated in her the values of perseverance, boldness, and integrity. From a young age, she was deeply shaped by her father’s sense of family and country and his firm belief in revitalising the national industry, which laid a solid foundation for her to lead the Chen Hsong Group to take off for the second time.

Under her leadership, Chen Hsong entered a new chapter of accelerated growth, achieving the number-one industry-wide sales position for two consecutive years in 2004 and 2005.
In 2005, Chen Hsong was selected by Forbes as one of Asia’s 200 Best Under a Billion companies, an international recognition of the group’s growth and management excellence under her leadership.

In 2011, Ms. Chiang led a team to enter into a global strategic partnership with Mitsubishi, Japan, to gradually introduce Japan’s cutting-edge production and quality management model, and work together to promote the research and development of injection moulding technology and customer applications.
