SUNG BOK CHO

Business Architect, Project Manager
Los Angeles,California

Summary

Starting as a branch employee in 1990 at Shinhan Bank, I became an internet banking full-stack developer in 2000 and have accumulated various careers as an IT expert until now.

My strength is that I understand well overall IT technologies and systems through my role as a project manager and long-term development experience in providing digital channel services. During his IT career, he quickly solved everyday IT problems and worked with development and business teams to launch numerous products and services.

Throughout my IT career, I quickly solved everyday IT problems and cooperated with the development and business teams to launch numerous products and services.

Another of my strengths is listening to the needs of the business world, conceiving ideas well, collaborating, and executing with agility.

Especially while working as an IT expatriate in India in recent years, I could develop the ability to manage local employees and, above all, to view and operate an organization from the management's point of view.

Although the industry of my career is somewhat different from yours, based on my IT capabilities and experience, I believe that my leadership in ultimately treating people appropriately and carrying out projects effectively can be proven in any industry.

Lastly, I obtained permanent residency in the EB-NIW category in August 2022 and have no status restrictions to work in the United States.

Thank you.
