Yongho Choi
Technical Sales
Seoul City
Summary
I have more than 11 years of experience in technical sales experience related to the automotive industry, especially with OEMs and TIER1s. I am sensitive to the latest technology trends and work culture of the automotive industry as a whole, including OEMs and TIER1s, based on my experience as an engineer at a TIER1, international sales experience, and as a domestic OEM key account manager for a global R&D test partner.
I am also good at using metaphors/analogies when explaining something to others, so I have a knack for smoothly making customers aware of relatively difficult technical parts.
I have a philosophy that all sales activities are about exchanging my values for the customer's values, and this has allowed me to build an exceptional relationship with my clients.

I studied piano for over 8 years as a child and played electric bass and guitar in my college jazz club. This led to a career in the military where I played alto saxophone in the military band.
I also play in an off-site office band, where I interact with people from all walks of life and manage my stress through leisure activities.
