About

I am an experienced enterprise sales leader with a strong track record of driving significant growth in high-performing teams. I joined Datadog as the company's beginning enterprise sales hire, where I played a critical role in scaling the business and growing our enterprise revenue by more than 5x. Starting as the 5th employee at Datadog Korea, I quickly adapted to the dynamic, fast-paced environment of a growing company. My approach as a leader is focused on empowering my team to succeed, providing support, and solving obstacles that may arise. I firmly believe in a servant-leadership mindset—helping my team members grow, thrive, and achieve their best potential. My experience working with large enterprises, including Korea’s top conglomerates, has equipped me with a deep understanding of both local and global business needs. I am passionate about building scalable sales strategies, cultivating relationships, and driving success through collaboration.
