    Reagan Hwang

    Co-founder @ Wanted (IPO’d hiring platform) | Building AI screening agents

    Screening interviews eat 40%+ of a recruiter's week — and most don't even lead to a hire. I'm building an AI screening agent that handles early-stage interviews so TA teams can focus on closing the right candidates. I co-founded Wanted — a tech hiring platform that went public in 2021 and now serves 4M+ professionals in Korea. Before that, I spent 7 years at Microsoft as a technical evangelist, helping top app partners launch on the Windows platform. Currently focused on the US market. If your team struggles with screening volume, I'd love to hear how you're handling it today.

    Beyond Strategy, Into Execution. I founded YM&Company with a single mission: To be the "Execution Partner" that Asian tech and manufacturing companies desperately need to succeed in the US market. Too many companies fall into the "Missing Middle"—spending years and millions on local hires or strategy reports without generating real revenue. I bridge that gap. I don’t just offer advice; I act as your Fractional Executive (Acting Regional Head), working on the ground to build your pipeline and secure deals. Who I Am: I am a Tri-Cultural Global Business Director with over 22 years of field experience across Korea, Japan, the US, and the Middle East. My career has been defined by "Evidence-based Execution." From establishing joint ventures to securing Guinness World Record contracts, I have generated over $150M in cumulative revenue for global giants like LG, Samsung, and SK. 📍 Career Highlights (Proven Track Record): • SK Intellix USA: Head of Sales & Marketing | Led U.S. market entry and brand establishment. • SAMSUNG SDS USA: Atlanta Branch Manager | Built a $10M logistics pipeline in the SE region. • LG Electronics Japan: Head of B2B Business | Penetrated the highly demanding Japanese market. • LG-MRI (U.S.-Korea JV): Served as COO, driving $22M annual revenue with global retail giants. • LG Electronics MEA HQ: Secured the world’s largest OLED project at the Dubai Mall. What YM&Company Provides: We act as a Triangular Bridge connecting Seoul, Tokyo, and Atlanta. • Cultural Translator: Redefining your product value to fit the US market context. • Super Connector: Direct access to key decision-makers, Georgia Tech, and state government benefits. • Revenue Driver: Directly managing sales and operations to ensure ROI. Personal Values: 🌐 Think Global, Act Local: Deep context on 3 business cultures. 📈 Growth Mindset: Focus on scalable, sustainable revenue. 🤝 Execution First: Strategy is nothing without results. 🚀 Ready to expand to the US? Let’s move beyond reports and start executing. Open for a discovery call to discuss your market entry strategy.

    Brian Cho

    Co-Founder & CEO @ Baro, a16z SR007

    I’m drawn to problems with real severity. Severity = Cost × Frequency. That lens has shaped everything I’ve built. I start with what is broken, how often it breaks, and whether solving it materially changes the outcome. At Resonado, I tackled the physical limitations of traditional speakers and brought a new transducer architecture from Korea to companies like Airstream and Klipsch. At Jobtest, I tackled the lack of signal in career decisions, turning a popular Korean personality test into an AI career platform that reached a $5M run rate in under two years. At Flock, I tackled response time in gun violence, leading an audio product that combined hardware, software, and machine learning to help communities react faster. Now, with Baro, I’m solving the problem that feels most personal: helping exceptional brands cross borders and grow in America without having to rebuild an entire company from scratch. It feels less like my next startup; and more like everything I’ve done was preparing me to build it.

    I am Holly (Oh) Diamond, the Founder & CEO of WorkOnward, the map-based job platform making the world of hourly work, work. I have seen firsthand that a working community is a thriving community. It was my own experience leading my family’s restaurant in NYC in the midst of the pandemic and weeding through the many cumbersome and corporate-centric hiring platforms as I worked to grow our staff that led me to found WorkOnward. As a seasoned recruiting executive and HR technology founder in addition to a restaurateur, I’m grateful every day that my unique life path has called me to this endeavor. I passionately believe in the dignity of hourly work as the backbone of American labor. Whether you’re an overworked and understaffed small business owner rolling up your sleeves day in, day out (I’ve been there!), or you’re a skilled service professional tired of the burdens of modern gig life, I am on a mission to connect local employers with local talent with the easiest, most intuitive local job platform ever built. I talk about technology, hiring, recruiting, inclusivity, community, and (of course) food!
