Life and career

Originally born in China, Lindy Chen grew up in a normal family in Guiyang, China. When Lindy was young, she had two objectives: setting up her own business, and doing business related to China. After she graduated from Tianjin University, she worked for two companies in China and made notable contributions. These work experience played an important role when Lindy set up her own business in Australia in 2005.

In 2005, she found an opportunity to start her own business, Chinadirect sourcing. As an entrepreneur, she helped a range of Australian local companies building their careers through importing from China.

According to the local television show, How to Get That Job,she talked about her ambition: leading her team and becoming one of the best sourcing company around the world.
