I have been with Ansys for 13 years. I started as an account manager for territory and momentum, then advanced to regional sales manager for the strategic account team, followed by regional sales director for the enterprise sales team. Now, I am the area sales director and country manager for Korea, overseeing the entire Korea business.

How I’d Explain My Job to a Kindergartener

Imagine a mentor who assists adults in bringing their creative visions to life on a computer.

This mentor, working at Ansys, leverages advanced simulation technology to transform ideas into reality.

By partnering with engineers, the mentor ensures that innovative concepts are realized efficiently and effectively, making the seemingly impossible possible.

What I Actually Do

As the country manager for South Korea, my goal is to expand Ansys' business in the region. I collaborate with the entire South Korea team to increase the accessibility of simulation technology, helping Korean engineers achieve their goals more efficiently and effectively.

Why I Choose Ansys

I believe in the immense growth potential of Ansys simulation, which is why I remain with the company.

Our ONE Ansys Culture

More than anything, my favorite phrase is "Powering innovation that drives human advancement." It is always wonderful and rewarding to help our customers in South Korea create the best products and contribute to the country and humanity through our work.

Sense of Belonging

The Korea team has numerous volunteer programs to support the community. I enjoy participating in these activities with my colleagues, as they provide a sense of belonging.

Our Shared Values

Collaboration and teamwork, embodied by ONE Ansys, are our shared values. Without collaboration with colleagues, it would not have been possible to successfully support customers and build businesses over the past 13 years. I always feel happy and rewarded whenever we achieve goals through collaboration.

Fulfilling Our Mission

The Korea team values enhancing the customer experience. We are always focused on making it easier for our customers in Korea to access advanced technology, which we believe accelerates their success.

The Great Place to Work® certification is a badge of honor that validates the employee experience we’ve created and the great workplace culture we’ve built. It helps us recruit new employees, retain existing ones, open partnership opportunities, and more. That makes me happy.

My Best Advice

I always tell new employees that collaboration is what makes Ansys unique. We provide products across various physics to multiple industries, and successful collaboration is essential. Our organizational culture fosters teamwork with colleagues from different teams and countries, allowing us to build relationships and exchange assistance, which benefits our career journeys.

What You Might Not Know

I have a passion for studying, especially history. I prioritize outdoor activities with my daughters, such as riding bikes and climbing, whenever possible. I also enjoy movies. The most interesting movie I've seen recently was Mickey 17, and I really love films by directors like Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and Bong Joon Ho.
