TAIPEI, July 7, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd., today announced the
appointment of Mr. Chau-Young Lin as
the new President of Chunghwa Telecom's Information Technology
Group, succeeding Mr. Shui-Yi Kuo,
effective July 7, 2023. The
appointment was approved by the Board of Directors in an
extraordinary board meeting held today.
President Lin holds a Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering
from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, and has
extensive experience serving in various leadership positions in
Chunghwa Telecom since 1987. President Lin assumed the role of
President of Chunghwa Telecom's Information Technology Group in
April 2022, while also serving as the
Chairman of International Integrated System Inc. since 2020. Prior
to that, Mr. Lin was the President of Chunghwa Telecom's Data
Communications Business Group from June
2020 to April 2022 and the
Senior Executive Vice President of the Company's Administration
Department from August 2019 to
June 2020. He was also the President
of the Company's Southern Taiwan Business Group from March 2018 to August
2019. President Lin helped Chunghwa Telecom become
Taiwan's leading system
integration service provider by leading Chunghwa's IT service team
to design and accomplish the largest national IT system upgrade
project, the National Tax Filing System for the Ministry of Finance
of Taiwan. He also led the
Information Technology Group to develop cutting-edged technology
and services in the areas of IDC, Cloud, AI, IoT and Cybersecurity,
making Chunghwa Telecom the leading ICT service provider in
Taiwan. President Lin also serves
as the Chairman of International Integrated System, one of the
subsidiaries of Chunghwa Telecom. Under his leadership, the company
achieved record-high revenue in 2022, and is now moving towards the
goal of going public.
Starting from the grassroots and leading by example, Mr. Lin is
seen as a friendly and amiable partner by his subordinates. The
enthusiasm and curiosity he shows for new technologies, makes it
easy for him to connect with colleagues. In recent years, with the
impact of the pandemic and the digital transformation demand from
enterprises, "cloud services" have boomed in the global market and
become a focal point for enterprises. Earlier this year, Mr. Lin
set an example by leading the senior executives of the Information
Technology Group to obtain professional certifications in cloud
services, making "cloud adoption" a common language and belief
within the organization to collectively drive the cloud
service.
Since the end of last year ChatGPT and generative AI have gone
viral, which further ignited Mr. Lin's passion for learning in the
field of AI, which originally was sparked when doing his doctoral
thesis over 20 years ago. In addition, he personally participated
in the PoC development and implementation of generative AI services
within the Information Technology Group, achieving a "learning by
doing" approach.
Mr. Lin will execute the business strategies of the "Three
Principles of Management, Three Fleets of Business, and Three Keys
of Technologies" led by Chairmen Shui-Yi
Kuo. He will also coordinate all branches and subsidiaries
to strengthen the telecom network, enhance digital resilience, and
ensure information security of the information systems while
improving service quality. Mr. Lin also aims to replicate
Taiwan's successful services,
products and experiences of the Company's digital and net-zero
transformation abroad, leveraging the synergies of group
operations. In addition, he will continue to broadly build
alliances and promote positive development of the industry
ecosystem with partners in the field of innovative applications
including cloud and AI, creating mutual benefit and common
prosperity.
Looking forward, just as the three visions declared by Chairman
Kuo for the Company when he took office: sustainability, digital
empowerment and being company with market value far beyond
trillion, President Lin will uphold this direction and exert every
effort to fulfill the mission entrusted by Chairman to achieve the
goal of surpassing a trillion-dollar market capitalization while
continuing the sustainable development.
