About

I’m the CEO and Co-Founder of Runbear, where we help teams work with AI agents like they would a new hire—no code, no flowcharts. In just a year, we’ve earned the trust of 190+ paying companies. Before Runbear, I founded and exited two startups—one acquired by Kakao, the other by Buzzvil, where I served as Chief Architect and Chief Product Officer. I’ve led products from zero to scale, across consumer and B2B. Techstars ’24 taught me how to build a venture-scale business in the U.S.—from validation to go-to-market and fundraising. Seoul National University trained me to solve complex problems through technology. That combination enables me to execute with speed, clarity, and resilience.
