Ms. Kang, Myounghee (FMBA, 2013) is now the CMO at Finda
After graduating from SKK GSB's Full-time MBA course, Ms. Kang Myoung-hee is now in charge of marketing (CMO) at Finda, a fintech company that operates a loan comparison and brokerage platform. On this platform, borrowers can easily compare loan conditions by financial institutions, and lenders can access information to select borrowers with higher credit ratings. Ms Kang started her career in the financial industry before enrolling on the MBA program, then she switched to the marketing field after completing the marketing track in her Full-time MBA studies.
Ms Kang's career has encompassed a sense of purpose, transformation, and growth. Starting her career in a savings bank, she found purpose in doing something that moves customers and markets. Afterwards, she realized that she needed a career change as a marketer to do something meaningful and suitable for her. She said, “I enjoy challenges and growth, but above all, I wanted to live a life where I could immerse myself in what is meaningful to me.” By embarking on the MBA and completing the marketing track, she developed in her professional field while exploring opportunities to gain relevant experience through networking with classmates, seniors, and juniors. After graduating with an MBA, she did marketing consulting at a consulting firm, and later served as CMO at The Booth, a craft beer brand, and at Playlist, a content company, expanding her marketing domain through branding. Now, as Head of Marketing at Finda, she leads the growth team, branding team, and marketing design team.
Ms Kang says, "The MBA isn't all that made me who I am today, but I think that I steadily pursued becoming the person I am today through the MBA course." She also emphasized that an “MBA is a process of creating a better future by using deep thought about career path and future, and using various stimuli through networking, as well as professional education during mathematics, and the guidance of world-class professors.”
Although she has made a successful career transition, Ms Kang advises that the MBA itself should not be a goal. The following is the text of her advice to those who are considering applying to SKK GSB. “Thinking that ‘everything will be all right because I passed the MBA and came all this way’ cannot lead to a real transformation. Starting with the MBA, I hope you will lead yourself closer to your ultimate life goal by actively utilizing the courses and networks. I want you to imagine the experiences and career goals you want in SKK GSB as concretely as possible, and to create opportunities to gain as many experiences, memories, and contacts as possible beyond your imagination.”
