Korea University
I am an Enterprise GTM & Sales Leader with 25 years of strategic leadership experience driving multi-million-dollar digital transformations across SaaS, UCaaS, CCaaS, AI/CX, and cloud architectures. My core expertise lies in translating cutting-edge technology into high-impact business outcomes, specializing in navigating complex, multi-million-dollar sales cycles with Asia’s most prestigious global conglomerates, including Samsung, Hyundai, SingTel, DBS and KBank.
Throughout my career, I have thrived in cross-region, multi-stakeholder environments across APJC. I specialize in building high-performing, technically rigorous sales teams, scaling partner ecosystems across 13+ countries, and acting as a turnaround architect for underperforming business units. Currently at Cisco, I have been instrumental in migrating legacy communication infrastructures to AI-driven Cloud Collaboration, driving ~60% YoY Collaboration growth across ASEAN & Korea and a 191+% YoY CCaaS/AI growth milestone in Korea.
I am a firm believer that modern enterprise sales must be rooted in technical confidence, rigorous pipeline discipline, and executive stakeholder alignment. From my early days as an engineer to my regional leadership roles, I have maintained a passion for technical storytelling that bridges the gap between C-suite vision and deployment reality.
Core Competencies:
· Enterprise GTM & Sales Leadership: Designing and executing high-growth sales strategies for cloud and hybrid-work transformation.
· Business Turnaround & Recovery: Inheriting underperforming portfolios and establishing immediate sales operating rhythms, pipeline hygiene, and deal momentum.
· AI-Driven CX, UCaaS, & CCaaS: Transforming traditional on-premises infrastructures into modern, AI-powered customer experience environments.
· Strategic Account Management: Securing and scaling multi-million-dollar relationships with Korea and ASEAN's top conglomerates.
· Partner & Channel Ecosystems: Scaling regional enablement programs and collaborative solution selling across APJC.
· Team Leadership & Coaching: Developing cross-functional, solution-led technical and sales organizations.
I am passionate about connecting enterprise leaders with the technology that shapes the future of work and customer experience. Let's connect to discuss enterprise collaboration, GTM strategy, or digital transformation across APJC!
