Young min Lee
Founder and CEO @ B4PLAY
About
25 years of experience as an entrepreneur, developer, strategy, and data expert in the IT industry. Currently, I founded a company B4PLAY, developing a social media platform for PC/console gamers, and analyzing game trend data using the platform. Previously, I founded TailorContents and exited it after two years, and was responsible for planning, analysis, strategy, and development at automobile, font, education, and game companies. My strengths can be broadly divided into two. One is data design and analysis ability, and the other is management ability with global companies based on diverse work experience. TailorContents developed advanced data for movie/TV series. The data designed and developed at the time was not only sold to a major Korean media companies, but also created an opportunities to do a new type of database business after selling the company. Based on my experience at the Korean company, I also gained a lot of global experience. At a UK-based game company, I planned metaverse service for a global market; at an education company, I managed development team in India and coordinated marketing and development planning with the US HQ; at a font company, I managed the Noto Sans font with Google and Adobe.
