Sookhyun Yang Top-Executive
Her primay focus is on driving business profitability through technologies. As a research engineer, rather than a research scientist, her interest lies more in applying AI technologies in practical, real-world settings.
Before that, she had been a pivotal role in initiating and accelerating the development of LG’s new business cloud platforms. Over the course of 16 years, her technical expertise has encompassed three key areas: (1) cloud and networking platforms, (2) machine learning algorithms, and (3) big data modeling and analysis.
In South Korea, she is the only one from the headquarter of Akamai technologies Inc. (the world-first and world-top content distribution networking company).
