Meet Daewon 👋 He’s an Associate at our BCG Korea office, but not long ago, he was studying Data Science in the US and envisioning how to combine analytical thinking with strategic impact. Now, he’s back in Korea, collaborating with teams across industries to tackle high-stakes business challenges.
💡What excites me most is the opportunity to tackle complex business challenges using data-driven insights. At BCG, I get to collaborate with talented colleagues across various industries and functions, translating analytical outputs into meaningful strategies that drive real impact. It’s incredibly rewarding to see how thoughtful data application can influence high-stakes decisions and create tangible value for our clients.
📈 After studying Data Science in the US, I wanted to apply my skills in a dynamic environment where analytical thinking and strategic decision-making intersect. BCG Korea stood out to me with the unique opportunity to work on transformative projects within the Korean market. Returning to Korea also allowed me to reconnect with my family while contributing to organizations navigating digital and data transformation in a rapidly evolving business landscape.
🔍I’ve always been fascinated by the power of data to uncover hidden patterns and support better decisions. During my academic journey, I realized that data alone isn’t enough—it’s how you interpret and apply it that makes a difference. Consulting offered the perfect platform to merge my analytical background with real-world business challenges. At BCG, I’m able to leverage both sides—technical skills and strategic thinking—to deliver high-impact solutions.
🧘♂️Exercise is my go-to way to recharge. Whether it’s hitting the gym or going out for a run, physical activity helps me clear my mind, reduce stress, and maintain focus. It’s a routine that keeps me energized and refreshed—both physically and mentally—and ultimately helps me bring my best self to work.
