Korg USA announces that after an extensive search, accomplished engineering and technology leader Kevin Han will join its executive team and lead its IT division into the future.
Korg USA’s CFO Diana Cecchini says, “Kevin brings with him a wealth of knowledge and expertise that will contribute to Korg’s strategic goals and objectives. He will play a pivotal role in driving our company’s continued growth.”
Kevin Han has over 20 years of experience in leading large technical teams in highly complex environments. Prior to coming to Korg USA, he worked at Google for nine years and IBM for 13 years in various leadership roles. Han holds a BS in Computer Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology.
At Google from 2016 to present, Han was Head of Contact Center Infrastructure and Automation and Senior Manager of a $25 million dollar budget leading a global team of network engineers, system development engineers and technical program managers. They developed and deployed end-to-end contact center solutions supporting critical product areas including sales, support, marketing, security, reception, and other teams across all of Alphabet. Han’s team migrated Alphabet’s contact center platform, handling approximately 80 million calls annually while servicing 21,000 agents, from an industry third-party platform to Google’s proprietary developed platform.
In his previous role at Google, Han was Hardware Operations Manager and lead a team of engineers including the New Product Introduction teams delivering Google Open POWER server initiatives, custom AI solutions, and custom data center storage solutions.
At IBM, Han moved up the ladder succeeding in various roles including Advisory Hardware Development Engineer, Manager of VLSI Design and Test and ultimately Management of IBM zSeries Mainframe Product Engineering.
Han has that rare blend of being highly business conscious with extraordinary technical skills while also being an enthusiastic people person who excels at team management and personal communication. His resourcefulness, adaptability, and willingness to collaborate make him an exceptional fit for Korg USA.
“I’m very grateful to everyone that helped in the selection process,” expresses CFO Cecchini. “In the coming weeks, Kevin will be meeting with the IT team in Melville, New York, becoming familiar with key members of each department and realizing how his role aligns with our broader company strategy. I’m confident that Kevin’s contributions will help us achieve even greater success.
