Young Kim is a Retail and CPG Division CDO, Data and AI Driven Transformation Specialist at Microsoft. Colleagues describe them as "In today’s business environment, it is difficult to find (and work with) leaders who truly represent the combination of humility, genuineness, visionary and innovation. Young is one of these unique and special individuals. I had the good fortune of working with Young at Samsung and can share that despite the constant upheaval of the place, Young maintained his composure, belief and energy throughout. A true gem.", "I had the pleasure of working with Young at Samsung. While the org chart had him reporting to me, we were partners in navigating the Samsung landscape. Young was an outstanding, tell it like it is, no BS, executive that cared about Samsung's Enterprise Business and the people reporting into him. It is an extremely tough challenge to work as an Ex-pat with having to navigate country issues on top of the corporate culture/style issues In all cases, Young accomplished his work with professionalism, grace under fire, and a dedication to getting it right. Technical and street smart, Young is an outstanding executive and a net positive to any company looking for A+ talent. Highly recommended.", and "Young has that rare combination of technical expertise, business acumen, and the ability to forge great relationships. He was a pleasure to work with at Microsoft for the technical direction and solutions he would create, as well as his ability to keep the customer well informed and happy. Young fits well in any situation but really shines when facilitating deals and projects between US and Asian companies. I hope to be able to work with Young in the future."
