A seasoned technology leader, Park steered NAVER Cloud from 2014 to 2022, propelling the company through a phase of swift innovation and growth, expanding its cloud service offerings from 22 to over 200 across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. He was also the brains behind NAVER's sustainable data center strategy, earning the company a Platinum LEED certification.

"Converge has evolved beyond a mere connectivity provider. We are shaping the digital infrastructure of the future and require board-level direction from leaders who have already established such foundations on a global scale," Uy further stated.
Park, who currently serves as Executive Advisor to NAVER Cloud, provides strategic counsel as the company continues its expansion across Asia. He is also a Master’s Degree holder in Public Administration from Yonsei University in South Korea.
