Leadership

Daniel Lee

President and CEO

“Without putting in any effort, it is impossible to see the fruits of the harvest.”

Daniel Lee’s background in electronics and semiconductor technology began while working in various technology companies in the early 1980’s in South Korea, including Philips Electronics. After successfully helping various companies reach multi-million-dollar sales, he founded Big Shine Worldwide, Inc. in 1989.
 
Since then, Big Shine has been supplying companies such as Samsung, LG and Hyundai with electronic components for cellular phones, televisions and other devices. Today, Big Shine Korea continues to work with these top companies.
 
As new sustainable technology is heavily reliant on semiconductors, Lee naturally moved into the solar photovoltaic systems and LED lighting industries. And as the world began to recognize the benefits of reduced energy consumption, so did Lee’s passion for these revolutionary technologies. As a result, he formed Big Shine LED in the United States to begin producing LED luminaires and Big Shine Energy to provide direct consultation services to companies for HVAC, LED lighting and solar photovoltaic systems, among other energy-efficiency technologies.
 
Lee’s goal is to provide the top companies around the world with solutions to energy efficiency so that, together, we can reduce our carbon footprint and ensure the health of our planet for future generations.
 
Lee graduated from Hongik University with a bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering. He also holds multiple certifications in the areas of electronics, lighting and solar design.
