- To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Sungkyunkwan University SKK GSB organized a series of "Where are you now?" interviews with alumni to find out how they are doing in their careers and what life has been like since graduation. SKK GSB Professional MBA Class 4th Graduate: Eunpil Choi Eunpil Choi, a graduate of SKK GSB at Sungkyunkwan University in 2019, is currently working at 42dot, the global software center of Hyundai Motor Group, where she analyzes key technologies and market trends and develops strategies and plans accordingly. Eunpil graduated with a degree in Information and Communication Engineering. She started her career as an engineer at Samsung Electronics. During this time, she had the opportunity to transition to the planning department, and since then, she has been working under the broad umbrella of planning and strategy. The reason why Eunpil pursued an MBA program at SKK GSB was that, after transitioning from an engineer to a planning and strategy role, she felt the need for both academic and practical growth. She said, "Those with an academic and career background like mine have likely faced similar concerns. I encourage juniors, peers, and acquaintances who share these concerns to pursue an MBA without hesitation." Eunpil said, "The MBA program strengthened my thought process and taught me how to achieve the best results within a limited time. In the MBA program, you can learn to solve problems more effectively and examine the core from various approaches, so anyone with determination can achieve valuable outcomes. The highly motivated Eunpil completed the MS program at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University through the dual degree program at SKK GSB. She added, "The outstanding peers and professors I met during the program helped broaden my perspective and allowed me to see further. During this time, I also gained the insight and courage to venture into new industries." She said that Professor Yoo Pilhwa's "Pricing Strategy" class left a strong impression on her. Eunpil said, "I was assigned a project to analyze a company, and the subject company was Netflix. Back in 2018, Netflix's stock price was not as high as it is today. While it had succeeded in the U.S. market, it struggled to expand into the Korean and Asian markets. As I analyzed Netflix, I found its business model, history, and management team fascinating, which enabled me to see its growth potential. A few years later, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world, and Netflix experienced explosive growth. The ability to identify businesses and markets with growth potential was also something I gained through the MBA program." She said, "SKK GSB is still an ongoing life project for me, both in my career and in my life. By the time I finished my MBA, I could confidently say that I had grown significantly compared to who I was before starting the program. I believe that the knowledge I gained at SKK GSB will continue to help me grow in the future." She added, "The remarkable colleagues I met at that time are still with me, positively influencing each other. It seems that those countless dots are creating new ones and going through a process of evolution where they are connected."

- [Where are you now?] Eamon Byrne (Full-Time MBA 14th Graduate)
- To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Sungkyunkwan University SKK GSB organized a series of "Where are you now?" interviews with alumni to find out how they are doing in their careers and what life has been like since graduation. SKK GSB Full-Time MBA Class 14th Graduate: Eamon Byrne Eamon Byrne, who founded a startup in the UK last year, visited Sungkyunkwan University's SKK GSB in August. He is one of the alumni who maintains a strong relationship with the professors and has a special affection for the school. Although five years have passed since he graduated in 2019, the fact that the places he visits to give himself a break are Korea and SKK GSB shows just how deep his affection for Korea and his alma mater is. He said, "I got into Innovate UK’s High Growth AI Accelerator for startups, so my life is going to get very busy. Before that, I would like to come to Korea and visit SKK GSB." After graduating from SKK GSB, Eamon worked at a startup in Korea for a year and then went back to the UK, where he joined the global strategy consultancy firm Simon-Kucher. This company was founded by Dr. Hermann Simon, the author of 'Hidden Champions' and known as the 'Peter Drucker of Europe'. Eamon’s consulting focus was on commercial strategy, including pricing, marketing, and new product monetization. While Eamon enjoyed his time in consulting, he said “my intention has always been to try to start my own business at some stage. Last year, AI made many amazing breakthroughs, and then I thought, this is the perfect time to start my own business!" Eamon's engineering background provided him with essential technical expertise, while his MBA from SKK GSB equipped him with broad business acumen. This blend of skills has proven invaluable as a founder, enabling him to navigate both the technical and commercial challenges of building a business. He is developing an app called "Tellme" that uses AI to offer new experiences to visitors of attractions. Imagine visitors talking with any exhibit at a museum, guided by a virtual assistant that answers all their questions in 50+ languages. Eamon stated, "In a museum, you can have thousands of items, but they only provide an audio guide for a limited number of objects. Those guides are also tediously long and one-size-fits-all. I may have completely different interests from another person, yet they provide the same description to everyone." Unlike an audio guide, Tellme embeds AI throughout to offer individualized experiences that adapt to each visitor's preferences. So far, he has partnered with a national museum in the UK and Merlin Entertainments, the world's second-largest attractions company. Eamon said that the things he learned in his MBA helped him a lot while establishing his startup. He explained, "It's still in the early stages, so I have to handle all the technical aspects, create the business plans, and manage the marketing. I guess a lot of founders are learning these things for the first time, but since I learned all about new business planning, marketing, sales, and financial management at SKK GSB, I already encountered a lot of this before." What are the reasons he, originally from Northern Ireland, completed his MBA in Korea, particularly at SKK GSB, among other Asian countries? Eamon answered, "I have always had a great interest in Asia, but I fell in love with this country during an internship at the Korean Institute for Energy Research (KIER) in 2015. Considering that SKK GSB is Korea's number one MBA and is also ranked among the global top 100, I chose to complete my MBA at SKK GSB. I also appreciated the well-equipped international environment, given that over 60% of both students and professors were from abroad." He advised prospective applicants and SKK GSB students that visiting and talking to the professors is very advantageous. Eamon said, "They're all so interesting and open. As I remember, they left their doors open, and you could just walk in anytime and talk about anything business-related. I hope that every student takes advantage of those opportunities."

There he was responsible for planning and delivering training programs for vice presidents who were potential candidates for the next CEO.

That is why leaders should constantly pursue change. He explained, "To possess outstanding leadership, it is essential to apply leadership skills that are uniquely your own to the organization you are leading. However, the foundation should be based not on 'me' but on the attributes and needs of the team members.

He recalled his time studying for his MBA at SKK GSB, saying, "It was a time when I felt proud to receive cutting-edge education in a place with top-notch facilities.

This synergy has been effectively applied, leading me to my current position."

- [Where are you now?] Byunghyun Ahn (Full-Time MBA 4th Graduate)
- To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Sungkyunkwan University SKK GSB organized a series of "Where are you now?" interviews with alumni to find out how they are doing in their careers and what life has been like since graduation. SKK GSB Full-Time MBA Class 4th Graduate: Byunghyun Ahn Byunghyun Ahn, who graduated from SKK GSB at Sungkyunkwan University in 2009, is currently the CEO of Kyobo Book Centre. After completing the Global MBA program (now Full-Time MBA) at SKK GSB, Byunghyun was working in the Marketing Planning Team at Kyobo Life Insurance when he unexpectedly received a transfer to lead the digital business initiative at Kyobo Book Centre, a subsidiary of the company. After working in the finance industry for over a decade, he found himself facing the challenge of starting a career in the entirely new field of book distribution. Initially, he felt significant pressure from embarking on a career in a field he had never encountered before. However, since February 2012, he began building a new career at Kyobo Book Centre and has since led the Digital Transformation efforts at Kyobo, establishing numerous infrastructures and achieving considerable success. He faced significant challenges immediately after moving to Kyobo Book Centre. Reflecting on that time, he said, "At that point, I was responsible for the digital content business. Although Kyobo Book Centre is a strong brand and a category killer, it was primarily an offline book distribution channel, so digital transformation was not easy." However, he said, "First, strengthening competitiveness including sequentially building digital business infrastructure and second, increasing the activity of online businesses has been the greatest achievement we have gained." After putting considerable effort into building digital infrastructure, Kyobo Book Centre's online platform saw its Monthly Active Users (MAU) increase from 6 million to 10 million. Byunghyun also focused on significantly expanding Kyobo Book Centre's business scope. Since margins were too low with just book distribution and it was difficult to meet customer needs, the company secured intellectual property (IP) through contests and implemented One Source Multi Use (OSMU) strategies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they expanded their value chain to include book supply services for local bookstores. They also provided their expertise in bookstore management to local bookstores and helped organize lectures by popular authors. These efforts generated over 100 billion won in additional revenue over two years, and the business successfully expanded its scope from content creation to distribution and supply." He said, "The global MBA experience at SKK GSB gave me a new level of confidence and equipped me with a broader perspective and deeper insights. I believe it contributed to my becoming the CEO of Kyobo Book Centre." He emphasized that his MBA experience was instrumental in starting a new chapter in his life. Byunghyun mentioned, "I had long desired to pursue an MBA and was finally able to start at SKK GSB. It was my first experience with classes conducted in English, and I struggled a lot with the accounting courses. However, I was able to study extensively and particularly enjoyed building honest and comfortable relationships with students from various industries." During the last semester, while participating in the Study Abroad Program at Indiana University's Kelley School, he said that the diverse experiences shared with his classmates were truly enjoyable memories. He said, "If you are considering entering a Full-Time MBA program, it means you are already at a point where change is necessary for you." He emphasized, "While a Full-Time MBA requires you to pause your career and fully commit to the program, it can be unsettling. However, if you fully engage with the MBA experience, your confidence will undoubtedly be restored." What leadership qualities does Byunghyun emphasize as a manager? He mentioned that he values communication highly. Byunghyun explained, "I conduct interviews with employees who are leaving to hear their honest opinions. I also have systems in place that allow for more frequent feedback from employees, making it easier for them to speak with me." Byunghyun is currently planning a national reading project called "Books Are Fun." He explained, "There is a shift where consumers are returning to existing content from webtoons or web novels. This change is more evident abroad." He continued, "I am thinking of introducing good books, creating stories for different age groups to read those books, and planning a campaign to recommend books through trustworthy individuals. I would like to launch a four-country joint reading campaign with the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan."
